Description
Please answer the following
"OpenSSH for Windows" version
It's the built-in OpenSSH in Windows 10, an 2014 version.
Server OperatingSystem
Windows 10 Home edition
I have a Windows 10 Home Edition box with a GPU to share via SSH (more specifically sharing go/igo/baduk/weiqi AI engines) , both client program and server program are working fine, the only thing is I don't know is how to restrict the max logins or SSH sessions per user. If one person connects to the server in multiple sessions, the server can be overwhelmed.
I see in Linux there's a MaxLogins option is the limits.conf file, but not sure about OpenSSH in Windows 10. Alternatively, maybe restricting the user to log in multiple times is also an option, but still I am not sure how to do this. I am willing to upgrade the Home Edition to Pro Edition, if it solves my problem.

Research direction
The issue names the built-in OpenSSH on Windows 10 Home but does not mention a repository file, test, or entry point. Start by checking how session or login limits are configured for that Windows OpenSSH version and edition. Done means documenting a supported restriction or clearly stating that the requested limit is unavailable.
