It may mean "million" here.

Sometimes English speakers will say "Ok, I'll give you 5g for that car"; g meaning "grand", slang for 1,000; so 5G is 5,000 dollars.  But I wouldn't say it's common to say "5m perday" for "5 million per day". It's perfectly understandable when you have read the entire context, though.

看了一下前后文，虽然数字很吓人，不过感觉5m a day就是说单日新增500w的意思。

Hi Mxh,
