Why does pop decrease when there's a queue?

For example, I have my server set to 150 max players. There's currently 19 players in the queue yet the pop says 140/150.

It says this on InfoPanel and in the in-game Rust server list. Shouldn't it just always says 150/150 if there's a queue?

no, because it shows online players (online = active)

So you're saying some are AFK? But Rust kicks AFK players when there's a queue...

Players in queue haven't yet loaded into the game world.  Surely, there is delay between initiating the connection (handshake) and being considered "online"
