Is firebase functions.https.onCall a background function?

I am looking at rate limiting quotas on firebase for a singular busy function (called when logging in) and saw that there is a 1000 limit for background functions. https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/quotas#additional_quotas_for_background_functions

I just want to check that functions.https.onCall is a https function and not a background function, thus not being limited. If 1000 people all load their data at one, I don't want it to fall over.

I found it in Google Cloud Functions documentation. The definition is:

You use background functions when you want to have your Cloud Function invoked indirectly in response to an event, such as a message on a Pub/Sub topic, a change in a Cloud Storage bucket, or a Firebase event.

This depends on your trigger. If you invoke your function via http call its not background function for sure.

I hope it will help!
