Yeah dude, wtf, 5000 users and you think you can get away for free?

OK, but if Slack has a user limit there's no reason it should be secret.
I'd guess it's not so much "a secret" rather than a natural limitation or just a "put a big number there that should be enough for everybody" (until it isn't)
Maybe it isn't intentionally a secret, but it should be documented. If you take the time to code a hard user limit (with its own API exception code, etc), you can take the time to mention it in the docs.
At least intuitively one doesn't think it would cost half a million dollars for a year.
