Fair enough, doesn’t tie up with the 1 byte payload calculation and the reason we ask for text & not screen shots is that we can’t see what the SF or reported payload size was. But there is no point trying to justify the future, it’s the present at 1 a minute that’s of concern … ---

It seems like 11.8016sec per min. At 100nodes , on your local gateway , 86400÷16,994.304. 5.0841 hr of a day congested AF on your home network… Maybe if I am thinking about it at this hour. Could be wrong but dont sound good to me , your gateway would prob brain freeze 😏 or let some smoke go, like to hear what happens 73 J [Previous page](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/how-many-nodes-does-the-gateway-support/61381.md?page=1)
