> First, Durable Objects and Workers KV requests do not count against the 50-subrequest limit. It's HTTP requests to external servers that count.

Ahhh, somehow I got the idea that requests from a Worker to Durable Objects and KV counted against subrequests. This changes things!

> If you mean you have 50+ users connected via WebSockets and you need to send a message to each one

I was thinking of, a client requests "give me a list of my documents" or "share this document with Alice, Bob, et al.", and the Worker that receives that request has to handle that somehow. I thought that was tough to do in 50 subrequests, but it's easy if I can just make an unbounded number requests to different Durable Objects or KV records.

Edit: I found what gave me the idea about subrequests. From the Workers docs:

> For subrequests to internal services like Workers KV and Durable Objects, the subrequest limit is 1000 per request, regardless of usage model.
