Concurrent players in Photon?

Hi,

We have integrated Photon as an add-on to PlayFab for the matchmaking and peer-to-peer multiplayer in our game. We were wondering how to find the number of concurrent players we have received over time?

It is an important stat, especially since there are limits imposed on it, but I cannot find that information anywhere in the interface.

Thank you,

Matchmaking

We provide your peak CCU for the month as part of the billing cycle for PlayFab. We'll be adding more of the components of the Photon dashboard (like CCU tracking) to the Game Manager in a future update. However, it's important to note that there aren't limits on CCU for titles running Photon Cloud in PlayFab.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. Is there a way to access to Photon Dashboard for the app linked to Photon then? We just activated the Photon add-on and used the application ids, and never actually created a Photon account.

Also, about the limits of Photon Cloud, if there aren't limits on CCU, what is the point of upgrading to the Premium? It mentions on the Photon add-on page that Photon Real-time has 20 CCU free, and is then 19$ per 100 CCU.

Thanks

Correct - $19 per 100 CCU for Photon Realtime. When I say we do not limit CCU, what I mean is that if your title takes off and you suddenly go from 100 CCU to 500 CCU, that's not a problem, and you won't have players who aren't able to connect to Photon. We bill based upon the total usage, so a peak of 500 CCU in a month would be $95 for that month. But you don't have to do anything to increase the maximum CCU you can go to with your title.

And no, we are not able to provide direct access to the Photon dashboard for titles using App IDs in our account. That's specifically why we'll be adding things like CCU counts for Photon to the PlayFab Game Manager.
