MySQL 8.4 Release Notes
The users table contains a row
for each user who has connected to the MySQL server. For each
user name, the table counts the current and total number of
connections. The table size is autosized at server startup. To
set the table size explicitly, set the
performance_schema_users_size
system variable at server startup. To disable user statistics,
set this variable to 0.

maintains rows in this table, including the effect of
