Push notifications eating up a lot of reads and writes in Firestore

Project Settings

Hi, I recently enabled push notifications for my app, just the regular setting and not the scheduled one. I set up the push notifications to show up when a workout timer is finished, but I noticed that when this push notification shows up, it eats up a lot of read/writes in Firestore. Am I doing something wrong? I was led to believe that push notifications were free. Is there anyway to minimize this read/write usage so it doesn't burn through the free limits set by Google?

What have you tried so far?

I only have a users collection set in my app and no other collections. I've tried setting the Firestore rules to Create: Everyone, Read: Everyone, Write: No One, Delete: No One. I could be mistaken on how this should be set up but I'm not sure.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?

Yes
