Hi @Sandeep Kumar13 

Servicenow does not charges based on number of records in a custom table, however, while adding records in a custom table, following points should be looked into - 

 

  • Monitor Performance: Keep an eye on the performance of queries, form loading times, and reporting.
  • Indexing: Ensure proper indexing on frequently queried fields.
  • Archiving: Implement archiving strategies to move older records to separate tables or storage if they are not frequently accessed. 
  • Database Sharding: For extremely large datasets, consider database sharding or other advanced database management techniques.

For more info, please refer - Data Retention, Rotation, Cleanup and Instance Size - Support and Troubleshooting (servicenow.com)
