Client-side rate limiting for Sentry

settings.py

import logging
import sentry_sdk

from ratelimitingfilter import RateLimitingFilter
from sentry_sdk.integrations.django import DjangoIntegration
from sentry_sdk.integrations.logging import LoggingIntegration

# Sentry
sentry_logging = LoggingIntegration(
    level=logging.INFO,  # Capture info and above as breadcrumbs
    event_level=logging.ERROR  # Send errors as events
)
# Allow the first 1000 events, then limit 1 per 10 minutes = max 4320 events per month.
# Should prevent spammy loggers from depleting Sentry quota, doesn't affect capture_message() and capture_exception().
rate_limit = RateLimitingFilter(rate=1, per=600, burst=1000)
sentry_logging._handler.addFilter(rate_limit)
sentry_logging._breadcrumb_handler.addFilter(rate_limit)

Hey @jurrian
Does this rate limit apply per error class/message or on the entire sentry errors?

sentry client seems to send no issues with this configuration. deleting the _breadcrumb_handler filter line seems to help.

@dineshgowda24 this applies rate limiting to all sentry errors send using the logging facility, so capture_exception() and capture_message() are not included here.

@leftys interesting remark, for us this has been working all this time now. I cannot tell what is different in your case, but it's good to take in consideration for others.
