Type of issue

Missing information

What documentation page is affected

https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/kibana/configuration-reference/alerting-settings

What happened?

This is a request to include under the description of the xpack.alerting.rules.run.alerts.max setting on this page, that suppressed events are counted in the maximum alert configuration. So even though they are suppressed, they are still counted towards the maximum limit.
