How exactly does ReCaptcha v3 count the number of assessments? Does it happen after calling the /siteverify method on the server side?

Hi, Yes, in a standard reCAPTCHA v3 implementation, the assessment is effectively counted when the token is verified server-side through /recaptcha/api/siteverify.

The frontend call to grecaptcha.execute() generates a token, but the actual risk evaluation/score is returned when your backend sends that token to Google for verification.

For reCAPTCHA Enterprise, the equivalent operation is CreateAssessment.
