View Limit? Ideas?

I Don't know if this is a complain but I wondering about views: It says in account control panel: What are "views" all about? Views are per app and your control panel will show how many times your app has been "launched" (data refreshed). This number rises rapidly if an app is published in the App Store or the Android Market. Because of this, if you publish an app to a public market you'll may exceed the app view limitation for your account. My question is WHAT will happen IF we do pass the view limit? I am No where near the limit, but Im curious to know, any ideas?

If you pass the view limit you will most likely need to upgrade your account. If you click on your account. On the left hand side it shows a link to upgrade your account. there it shows you all the pay plans and how many views you get for each one.

It's pretty clear what it means. If you exceed the views allowed by your account, you'll need to determine what the best alternative is for you. a) Upgrade your account to allow for more views b) Self host your own bt control panel so it doesn't matter c) Move your config file to another web enabled folder so it doesn't matter

And remember that "offline" apps don't have any views, since they don't reference a config file anywhere other than the one they shipped with. So, if it makes sense, take your app offline, and have zero views! Mark

How would I do that mark? Do I just delete the file?
