Question on Mixpanel's Safeguards Against Event Misuse
Hi Team, I have a question regarding an issue I recently observed. One of my scripts accidentally sent a scroll event repeatedly, and it triggered around 20 million times, which led to a significant loss of revenue. My question is: Why doesn’t Mixpanel have any security or safeguard mechanism to prevent the same event from being triggered millions of times? For example, if instead of my script, a bot triggered the same event millions of times, we would face the same revenue loss. In such a situation, who is actually responsible for this kind of misuse — me, even though I cannot identify who triggered the event, or Mixpanel for not having protections to limit excessive event firing?
