If you batch-write to Excel, Microsoft will alert us of the changes approximately once (I am not sure of the precise behavior–it’s possible that they would alert us twice), and we perform one sync, no matter how many changes you made to your Excel file in that batch update. That counts as one update.

Similarly, suppose you paste 1,000 rows into your Google Sheet. Google alerts us once, we perform one sync, that counts as one update.
