 ### Fixes
 
 - Fix crash when HTTP connection error message contains formatting symbols ([#3002](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/3002))
+- Cap max number of stack frames to 100 to not exceed payload size limit ([#3009](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/3009))
+  - This will ensure we report errors with a big number of frames such as `StackOverflowError`
