+Only events that stem from `captureException`, `captureError`, or `captureEvent`
+must increment the `errors` counter when their level is `error` or higher. As SDKs
+set the default level to `error` for these methods, a level lower than `error`

 A session can transition to `exited` which is exactly the same state as `ok`
