@HashiCorp I broke this down with controlled testing, not documentation.
How Vault Enterprise actually counts clients: https://t.co/gzvzH02DG4

[myros @myro]

Vault Enterprise doesn't bill tokens. It bills clients.
That distinction is why some teams see client counts explode without understanding why.

@HashiCorp Get it one way, and one workload becomes 100 clients. Get it another way, and 100 workloads collapse to one.

This isn't theoretical—it's deterministic behavior.

Vault Enterprise bills clients, not tokens.

But how it derives "client identity" can quietly explode your bill — or hide massive usage. I tested this rigorously on 1.21.1. Here's the real picture

[myros @myro]

Non-entity tokens (direct create, orphans, token auth) → identity = namespace + sorted policy names → unique combinations = separate clients
Even with 1.9+ deduplication, policy sprawl = combinatorial nightmare.
Worst trap: orphans never inherit entity_id — ever.

[myros @myro]

Entity-backed auth (LDAP, OIDC, userpass, AppRole+aliases) → anchors to entity_id → all tokens + children = 1 client Stable. Predictable. The right way.
