Comment (by karsten):

 Actually, users "per day" is misleading here.  The metrics graphs show the
 average number of users that are connected at any time on a given day.
 But it's just coincidence that graphs (and the
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/stats.html#clients raw CSV data] behind
 them) use 1 day as smallest unit.  The graphs would still look the same if
 we used 1 week as smallest unit on the x axis, and in that case we
 wouldn't want to say users "per week" either.

 This (probably frequently asked) question is also answered in the
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html#questions-and-answers Questions
 and Answers] section.  Any idea how we can make this more explicit and
 easier to understand?
