Am I in Congested Area?

New Starlink rental customer here. I am sorry if this has been talked to death here, but I think I may have missed a few key pieces of information.
I have my residential max home set up here in rural Central Texas (west of Austin) and I am about to receive my rental mini dish. I was planning on using it on standby for $5 at a second building on the property for cameras and ocassional cell phone signal boost.

I have been reading lately about congestion charges for high density user locations. How can I tell if I am one of those areas?

I also just saw from some other reddit notes that you can only stay on standby for just under a year then you have to change your plan for some days then you can go back. Is this correct? When I switch back is this the time I may face the dreaded congestion charge?

They never mentioned any of this when the sales person told me about the mini dish, but then she also told me I would get as many mesh extenders as I needed for free from the installer and that the extenders would reach 600 linear feet to my other building. It did seem too good to be true at the time. I am so very tired of this new culture where it is okay to lie about anything and everything.

Anyway, thank you for your help here.
