Feature request: Mail notification if rate limit is reached

[marbon87]

Summary

An email should be sent to the configured admin email, if a rate limit is configured and reached.

Motivation

If the rate limit is reached because one application A sends too much events to sentry, all projects in sentry are affected.
It can happen that critical events / issues from another project B are not saved in sentry because application A floods the system.
An admin should be notified in such situations.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Accepted, I will leave it alone ... forever!

@BYK do you think this is worth to be implemented in the future?

For the benefit of anyone who finds this, there is an internal API that you can alert from, it's the one that populates the graph on this page:
settings/{org}/projects/{slug}/keys/{key}/

We have a script that alerts on:
api/0/projects/{org}/{slug}/keys/{key}/stats/?resolution=1d&since={unix time in seconds}&until={unix time in seconds}

This returns a list of objects such as:

{
"ts": {unix time in seconds},
"total": 5303,
"dropped": 48,
"accepted": 5255,
"filtered": 0
},

Dropped = rate limited, not sure about filtered
