Metabase will recalculate a query's average execution time whenever it runs the query against the database to refresh the cached results. So if the first time Metabase runs the query against the database, it takes 5 minutes to return results, the average execution time will be 5 minutes. If the next query against the database takes 7 minutes to return, Metabase will update the average to 6 minutes (the average of 5 and 7 is 6).

Some things to keep in mind with this special Usage analytics collection:
- Metabase analytics is a view-only collection. Even admins can't curate it. It is eternal.
- By default, only admins can view the Metabase analytics collection (though admins can grant other groups view access to it). If you're upgrading from a version older than 48, people in groups with [monitoring access](../usage-and-performance-tools/usage-analytics.md) will also get access to the Metabase analytics collection. But after that initial grandfathering in, the monitoring access privilege is unrelated to the Metabase analytics collection; you'll need to specifically grant groups access to the Metabase analytics collection.
- You can duplicate any item in the Metabase analytics collection, modify the item to your liking, and save the item to another collection.

### Custom reports collection
While you _can_ save custom questions, models, and dashboards wherever you like (except for the Metabase analytics collection), we recommend that you save your custom Metabase analytics reports in the conveniently named "Custom reports" sub-collection. That way these items inherit the same permissions as the parent Metabase analytics collection.

There is one thing to know about the Custom reports collection: its metadata resets whenever Metabase restarts. While you are able to temporarily rename the Custom reports collection, or give it a description or an Official badge, Metabase will drop this collection's metadata when it restarts. But rest assured that Metabase will preserve any questions, models, events, or dashboards that you add to the Custom reports collection.
