Hi Blink Dev Community,

We're planning to enable an Origin Trial for our web application and would appreciate clarification on how the usage restrictions are enforced.

We have two questions:

  1. What counts toward the usage limit? Is usage measured based on pages receiving a valid Origin-Trial response header, or only when the experimental API is actually invoked? Specifically, can we send the token to all users but restrict actual feature usage to a small subset, or should we limit token distribution itself?

  2. How is the usage percentage calculated? Our trial disclosure mentions a 1% usage limit. Is this calculated against our application's traffic, or against total Chrome page loads globally?

Any clarification or pointers to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
