Do ongoing parse.com requests continue to count against the API limit?

Solution
Your understanding was correct. It's the number of requests started per second. The duration of the request does not come in to play.
Source: I work at Parse.
Problem
My understanding of the parse.com API rate limit is that it’s not a concurrent-job limit, it’s just the number of requests started in a given second. So if a user is, say, uploading a file from a slow network and it takes 30 seconds, that’s not 1 of my 30 req/s taken up that whole time. It’s just one request, the first second. On my team, though, is a wonderful security guy whose job it is to worry. He thinks that if 30 users upload a file each, for 30 seconds, at a 30 r/s limit, no one else will be able to use our app until they are done. Which one is correct?
