I assume it’s tied to logging in or using the account while logged in. Email is a separate system, it’s possible they linked up the email system to the accounts system, but the easiest way to implement this would just be to update a timestamp every time someone logs in or makes an authenticated browser request.

Welp, back to Firefox containers it is then. For those who don't know, you can have multiple Google sessions in different Firefox containers in a single Firefox profile/window. This is an official Firefox adding as far as I know. It works with Firefox sync for me (not enabled by default). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

They clearly say "Activity might include these actions you take when you sign in or while you’re signed: Reading or sending an email, Using Google Search, etc." So it's not just "did they log in".
