PowerBI Report Server Pricing

I need to know how does pricing of powerbi report server works? 
I am aware we need powerbi premium licenes to have report server.
So it becomes 4995$/capacity.

What does capacity mean? does it mean one deployment node?
Does one capacity have any data limit when on premises db is being used.

@MAwwad 

The number of users refers to the number of people who are accessing and interacting with Power BI reports hosted on Power BI Report Server. This includes both users who are viewing the reports as well as users who are creating and sharing analysis on the report server.

By users we mean users who create analysis or those who view it in embeded report form?
By 10000 queryies, you mean 10000 queries in parallel?

Power BI Report Server is included with Power BI Premium capacity and allows you to host Power BI reports on your own servers. The pricing for Power BI Premium capacity is based on the number of virtual cores (VCores) that you need to support your workload.

One Power BI Premium capacity VCore represents the processing power required to support a set of users and workloads. The number of VCores you need depends on the number of users and the complexity of your reports.

In general, one Power BI Premium capacity VCore can support up to 10,000 query/refresh operations and up to 50 concurrent users. However, the exact number of users and query/refresh operations that a single VCore can support will depend on the specific workload and the performance of your hardware and network infrastructure.

Regarding data limits, Power BI Premium capacity does not have any specific data limits when using on-premises data sources. However, the performance and scalability of your reports may be impacted by the size and complexity of your data, as well as the performance of your hardware and network infrastructure.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or if you need further assistance.
