This shows the number of unique affiliated users per time period (day, week, or month).

The initial drop in users when we enable the subscription is due to the reconfirmation period, which is usually set to 18 months. Once the subscription is enabled, all users who have not logged in during the last 18 months are removed from the plot. If these users subsequently reconfirm their affiliation, they will be included in the plot again.

As time goes on, inactive users (i.e. ones who have not logged in for more than 18 months) will slowly be removed from the metrics, ensuring a more accurate representation of the number of active users. Read more about this.
