... a *month*? Doing what, I guess is the question. I serve 2 million
tiles a day off one old server; based on some back of the envelope
numbers, I'd say that's probably about 50,000 users a day. (Possibly
more; I don't have stats handy.) In the big scheme of things, this is
practically nothing: OpenStreetMap, for example, serves 20 times this
many tiles (ranging up towards 400 requests/second).

Clearly, doing interactive editing and the like are much different, but
even OSM's editing stats far outstrip '1M hits/month': In the past
month, 7500 users have made something along the lines of 15-20 million
edits, with some days reaching more than 2 million edits in a single
day:
