Historical Daily Data Question

I'm currently ending my 14 day trial period and was looking to purchase a subscription and had a general question about the historical data. There is an option for 30000 additional data downloads, how are the downloads calculated? i.e. every symbol that you look at downloads data every 24hrs so if you were to look at say 10 symbols daily you would only have 10 download for that day times the number of days? 30000 seems like a lot, is there an average that subscribers use? wanting to ensure I do not get cut off mid month. Additionally how is the intraday different, I do not fully understand. data is still being downloaded?

if I choose not to get the 30000 and determine later that I need these I'm assuming that I will be able to add at a later date?

thanks

Read this:
Historical Daily data for futures, equities, and some cash indices has a limitation of the number of download requests per month. To increase this, use this setting. This does not apply to historical Intraday data.


if I choose not to get the 30000 and determine later that I need these I'm assuming that I will be able to add at a later date?
Yes.

Clearly you have nothing to be concerned with.

Hi,
The documentation says "The limitation for the number of Historical Daily data requests is 30,000 per month. This applies primarily to Historical Daily data requests only and not historical Intraday data requests."

What is a "data request"?
This is very vague. Is it the number of bars? For example if I make a single request of 30000 bars for one single ticket I exceed the limit? Or it is the number of different symbols?
Where can I check the number of "requests" done so far in one month?

I do not understand why there is no limit for intraday, those requests should produce many more bars of data.. than daily data.
Please clarify

This is one request.
