Hi Michael,

I've successfully implemented the notification system you recommended, and it's working wonderfully. However, I've encountered an issue where if the same error occurs repeatedly—say 500 times—it triggers 500 individual Slack notifications. Is there a way to limit the number of notifications sent for the same error? I'd like to set a threshold to avoid this overflow.

Thanks for your help!
