There are circumstances in which your application could send many errors to Flare in a short amount of time. Spike protection will prevent all events of your plan being used in a small timespan.

Some of our users have recently requested to view the periods that Spike protection is active. On the Spike protection page of the project settings you'll now see a table listing all period that spike protection was active. Here's how that looks like for spatie.be.

Why we removed AI solutions from Flare
AI generated solutions are dead, long live AI generated solutions! We removed the old one-shot fixes from a model that could only see the stack trace. It simply couldn't compete with modern agentic AI. In their place, Flare works with the agentic AI tools you already use: an MCP server that handles real triage, a CLI with an agent skill, quick Copy for AI prompts in the UI and docs served as markdown. Hosted agents are in the works too.

Flare now uses OAuth for MCP, the CLI, and API
Connect MCP clients like Claude and Cursor to Flare by logging in from your browser, no more copying API tokens. Every connection gets its own permissions, so you can give your AI read-only access to a single project. The CLI signs in the same way, and new personal access tokens with scopes and expiry cover scripts and CI.
