Is write to Firestore subcollection counted as a write to parent collection

I'm trying to estimate the rate of write operations to collections and subcollections in my application. Let's say there is a collection of documents called parents. Each document in parents has a subcollection called childs.

How write rate limit is calculated for childs subcollection writes? As a separate value (like for a separate collection), or it's added to a write rate value of parents collection?

I presume that the write rate limit should be calculated separately for each subcollection and parent collection, but I haven't found this in the documentation.

It's counted as a separate read. The parents and childs collections are not related in terms of pricing.

You are guessing right.
