We would like to use the Amelia on 2 different sites. These 2 sites have the same 35 employees and everyone use their on Google Calendar that is integrated with Amelia.
There are around 3000 booking per year on the one site and there are 1100 booking on the other site.
The question is what does the 'Maximum number of events returned' option means?
'Maximum number of events returned on one result page.' - What is the result page exactly?
This limits the number of busy events pulled from Google Calendar.
For example, you have 35 employees, and each employee has 2 busy events in Google Calendar which are being blocked in Amelia. So, you have 70 busy events on a daily basis that are being pulled into Amelia from Google Calendars.
This means that after around 35 days the highest number of events returned (2.500) will be exhausted, so 36 days from now, the busy events from Google will no longer be blocked in Amelia. This is, of course, under the assumption that each employee has 2 busy events stored in Google Calendar and if you're not filtering the form per employee.
Amelia actually fetches the busy slots based on the form, so if you use the form where all 35 employees are listed, it will fetch slots for all employees, and the maximum number of events will be exhausted, but if you create several pages, where only a few (or only one) employee is loaded, then the limit of 2.500 returned slots will span across more days.
Another example would be this:
10 employees with 25 busy events every day.
Booking form where all 10 employees are loaded will exhaust the 2.500 limit in 10 days
Booking form where only 1 employee is loaded will exhaust the 2.500 limit in 100 days.
On one page, there is a Booking form, with an employee for example [ameliabooking employee = 1], you can load the next 2,500 events from the calendar it uses.
- If the website is structured with 35 different pages, each (35) employee has one Booking form (on one page), can each user load the next 2,500 events from the calendar they use?
That's correct. If the page loads one employee, it will look for 2.500 busy events in that employee's Google Calendar, and if the page loads all employees, it will look for 2.500 busy events in all employee's Google Calendars.
When the limit is exhausted, the plugin will not see the busy slots anymore, so if 2.500 busy slots are blocked until (for example) March 1st, on March 2nd, all slots will be available even though they may be blocked in Google Calendars.

Thank you Aleksandar.
In summary:
On one page, there is a Booking form, with an employee for example [ameliabooking employee = 1], you can load the next 2,500 events from the calendar it uses.
- If the website is structured with 35 different pages, each (35) employee has one Booking form (on one page), can each user load the next 2,500 events from the calendar they use?
- What happens if the 2,500 limit runs out?
