Details

While looking into an unreleated thing on iOS I noticed that I see anywhere from 40 to 100 pending pings when I trigger a metrics ping using the debug tools. The data from release seems to bear out that we have a high number of pings in the wild too.

I don't know if this means we aren't clearing out pending pings when they are sent or if something else is going on, but we should investigate further.

The patch for Bug 1819161 I believe should also help address any issues with pending pings that we might be seeing. I think most of the problems I was seeing when I filed this was related to some local testing issues but the data from the field indicates we should probably investigate and get a better understanding of what's going on. Watching what happens when the patch from 1819161 lands will go a long way towards that.

Going to put this back to a P2 and review it again after a Glean release with the aforementioned patch in it makes its way through to iOS products.

Priority: P1 → P2

This was primarily happening to my setup locally while debugging some other changes so it turns out that this isn't as big a problem in the field as thought, but adjustments to ping throttling would likely help.

See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1822277 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1822278 for information on current proposed upload throttling changes.
