MySQL free tier limits and availability

Hi, I am new to pythonanywhere and I would like to use the free MySQL server. I need a small DB for testing and trial run with 2-5 users. I will be using this SQL server from my local system and not through the python available in this website.

Can I know what is the size limit of the Database, the maximum count of concurrent connections, any row limit, any days limit (within which if I don't log in, the DB gets deleted), any downtime that I should know of, anything else that I should be concerned about using the free MySQL here?

Unfortunately free accounts don't have access to their MySQL server from hosts outside PythonAnywhere -- only from code running on our systems.
