Sentry uses an algorithm to establish a spike threshold for each project. When this threshold is reached, a spike is flagged. Sentry then applies a dynamic rate limit to your project and begins discarding events to keep your quota from being consumed too quickly. This protects you from short-term spikes. But because of the algorithm's dynamic nature, if the event volume continues to be high for a sustained period of time, it'll become your new baseline and you may quickly run through your quota.

Spike thresholds are recalculated every hour for the duration of the spike. This is done to gradually increase thresholds over time to account for new traffic patterns.

Spike Protection will automatically deactivate once the spike event passes, until the next time a spike is detected.
