Simplify Crons rate limits documentation (#14443)
This PR simplifies the Crons rate limits documentation to make it clearer and less confusing for users. ## Changes: - Removed confusing "per-project basis" language that was causing confusion - Added a concrete example using a "database-backup" monitor with production and staging environments - Clearly shows that each monitor-environment combination gets its own 6 check-in per minute limit - Made the explanation more concise and actionable ## Example Added: The new documentation includes an example showing: - `database-backup` in `production`: 6 check-ins/minute - `database-backup` in `staging`: 6 check-ins/minute - Combined total: 12 check-ins/minute This should help users quickly understand how the rate limiting works in practice.

## Rate Limits
22

3-
Crons imposes a rate limit on check-ins to prevent abuse and resource overuse. Specifically, you can only send a maximum of **6 check-ins per minute per existing monitor environment**. This limit is enforced on a per-project basis, meaning that the rate limit applies collectively to all monitor environments within a given project. You can check if any of your check-ins are being dropped in the [Usage Stats](/product/stats/#usage-stats) page.

To prevent abuse and resource overuse, Crons limits check-ins to **6 per minute for each monitor environment**.

To avoid dropped check-ins, it is crucial to manage and distribute your check-ins efficiently within the rate limits. This will help maintain accurate monitoring and ensure that all critical check-ins are captured and processed.

For example, if you have a monitor called "database-backup" with two environments:

- `database-backup` in environment `production` can send up to 6 check-ins per minute
8+
- `database-backup` in environment `staging` can also send up to 6 check-ins per minute

- Combined, they can send up to 12 check-ins per minute

You can verify if any check-ins are being dropped by visiting the [Usage Stats](/product/stats/#usage-stats) page. To avoid dropped check-ins, ensure your monitors don't exceed the rate limit.
