Looking at their website they support file uploads and API. They probably count those separately.

The numbers make sense to me, because I assume an API is used for high volume processing by other businesses and manual upload of files is done by individuals

They may have been inaccurate in their description, but that's what happens when regular people write articles and not scientists, engineers or LLM
