RBR353 devices

[Wizzard370]

I have RBR353 setup which works really well.

This router supports upto 30 devices. I am nearing 28ish. 

1. What happens if I exceed 30 devices?

2. To count as 30, do these 30 devices have to be active at the same time or is 30 meant to be "active" devices only?

This is, as I said, a great mesh system and do not want to replace it unless it fails device issue.

You can have more devices than that. 

Its more than you might start getting slowdowns. But if a lot of your devices are IoT devices like switches/plugs/etc, you won't see much difference as they don't use much bandwidth. but if they're all 4k streaming machines, then you'll see lower throughput.
