# Archiving Accounts
> Free up account credits by archiving accounts you're no longer actively monitoring.
Archiving pauses an account and returns its credit slot so you can add a new account in its place. All historical signal data is preserved — archiving is not the same as deleting.
## How to archive an account
Locate the account you want to archive.
Click the **Monitoring** status on the account and hit **Archive**. The account is immediately paused and the credit slot is freed up.
## What archiving does
* Stops the account from being monitored — no new signals will fire
* Frees up one credit slot for a new account
* Preserves all historical signal data — you can still view everything that was found before archiving
## Tracking your credits
You can see your current credit usage on the **Searches** page. It shows how many credits you have left, how much space is available, and lets you add more credits if needed.
Credits reset every month, so you can rotate your full account list — archive your current accounts at the end of the month and add a fresh set.
You can only archive each account once per month. You cannot archive and re-add the same account repeatedly within the same billing period unless you use another credit.
