In the HiveMQ Cloud, sessions align with concurrent MQTT client sessions. Each active MQTT connection equals one session. Each persistent session, active or inactive, also counts as a session. If a device establishes multiple sessions simultaneously (using a different Client ID for each session), each is considered a separate connection. Counts reset to zero monthly.
Example:
Multiple Connections Within the Hourshort-time connections within an hour:
37 devices connecting every hour for a few minutes count as 37 connections.
Combination of Sessionspersistent and non-persistent sessions:
10 devices with persistent sessions (
cleanSessionflag set tofalse) + 27 devices connecting hourly = 37 total connections.
