Hi Pratik,

The best practice that we can give is to remove objects that you don’t need. For example: you may have reports/dashboards that are not used much in your company.

You can use our “Usage Monitoring” feature to discover those unused reports/dashboards:

> **[Usage Monitoring | Holistics Docs](https://docs.holistics.io/docs/usage-monitoring)**
>
> Usage Monitoring is a real-time tool that displays internal monitoring metrics related to the usage and activities of your organization’s dashboards.

Also, when you’re on the Billing page, you should see a list of objects that are counted against your billing. You can review objects that you don’t need and remove them too.
