Can you point to where it says that in the report? It actually says:
So it doesn't send "every key typed".
Until you realized what sequence of letters most commonly not have any suggestion. That's right, when you type your password.
Literally says in bold even:
AKA every keystroke
I assume they mean "if suitable suggestions are not available in the input method’s local database". Like you start typing a word, and when it doesn't find any match locally, it goes to the server. After that, any additional keystroke gets reported to the server "as they type".
