Sentry Events Not Showing Up
Quick answer
Events usually go missing because of ad blockers, rate limiting (429), exhausted quota, a wrong DSN, or a beforeSend hook that drops them. Check the network request and Stats page first.
Most likely fix: Inspect the request
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Inspect the request
- Open browser DevTools > Network and look for the envelope request to sentry.io
- Status 429: read the Retry-After and X-Sentry-Rate-Limits headers
- Blocked request: see the tunnel fix below

- Raise the quota or set a pay-as-you-go budget
- Review spike protection per project

- Verify the DSN and environment

- Check sampleRate is not 0
