This limit is applied to titles in development mode. When your title is in development mode, the title has a maximum of 100K players, and this title does not need to pay for the core functionality of PlayFab. If you want to continue adding players, you need to subscribe to a paid plan and then publish the title to live mode, and this title will be billed according to the paid plan you are on. Refer to Development Mode - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs for the difference between the two modes.
Regarding paid plans, it affects the base rate but does not affect the limits of the development mode title.
