Managing App Sessions    

In Trident, you can attempt to sign into Zoho Mail 20 times in a 24-hour interval. If you exceed this limit, you must wait for the buffer time to run out before signing in again.

Similarly, you can have 20 active sessions in Trident from different devices and web browsers. If you exceed this limit, you must remove the unused logins to continue signing in.
