Custom Objects Records Clarification

Question

Hello!Looking for a little clarification on how Custom Object records work. My assumption is that a "record" is basically a row of data tied to a Lead.So in this image example:Records Image.PNGThat would indicate there is 402,127 rows of data tied in any number of Leads. Is this correct?Also unsure of how records are calculated? According to our Adobe Rep we have 4 Million records allowed in our contract, but adding up the totals across all Custom Objects in the Admin area is more than 5 Million records?Is it typically x number of records PER OBJECT or Across ALL Objects? Sorry for the questions but our Rep keeps asking follow-up questions about fields and things and I just need a straight answer on how records work in this context. &#128578;

I think it's per custom object, but I have never personally reached the limit (I'm a strong supporter of clearing up the obsolete records instead of keeping them :D).

Yes, your assumption looks correct to me. And if the addition of all records on your various objects exceeds your contractual limit, you might one day hear from your Adobe CSM and they might ask you kindly to upgrade your contract.
