Currently active users is the users that are currently logged in. Most users ever online is the most users that have been logged in at the same time.

I had the same question a while back. Though RLShare is right. Currently active users are all users logged in at once. Most users ever online is logged during the same day.

Most users ever online is logged during the same day.
"Most users ever online" is the most users logged in at the same time, not during the same day.
