  2. Select the Project you wish to disable
  3. Select the settings page (top right Cog wheel)
  4. Navigate to Client Keys (DSN)
  5. Select "Disable" for ALL keys.
  6. Reduce to Rate Limit to 1 on all keys in the keys configure page
  7. Using the relevant documentation from the Sentry Docs - reduce the sample rate at the code level using the relevant SDK.
