Problem Description

Currently, if I am not mistaken, there is no way to disable the display of the number of active users.
That is, all users (including non-admin users) can see the number of currently active users.

As per changelog, the active users indicator was added to allow to track the cause of performance drop due to high usage.

The number of active users only remotely reflects the usage volume. There can be many users "active" (having the tab open in their web browser), but not making any prompts, resulting in low usage despite high number of "active" users. I am assuming here "high usage" to refer to the usage of chat prompts, not just the usage of website.
In some cases, this feature is simply not needed, such as when there are not enough users in total to cause any significant performance drops.
Aside from being reduntant in some cases, the feature also may raise minor privacy concerns.

Desired Solution you'd like

Primarily because of privacy concerns, I would like to have an option in the admin panel that would allow me to disable the display of the number of active users for non-admin users.
