Resolving Ingestion Warnings
by PostHog469d1773e9cbNo licenseListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026
Diagnoses and resolves PostHog ingestion warnings — problems recorded while ingesting events (dropped events, rejected person merges, oversized payloads, invalid data). Use when a user asks why events are missing, dropped, or undercounted, why identify/alias calls don't work or accounts stay duplicated, why person or group properties aren't updating or profiles look inflated, why recordings have gaps, heatmaps are empty, LLM token counts are missing, why cookieless events vanish, or whenever the `ingestion_warning` health check fires. Explains severity triage (error = dropped, warning = modified, info = intentional) and routes all warning types — size limits and enrichment, merges and distinct IDs, `$process_person_profile`, timestamps, cookieless, heatmaps, transformations, session replay — to per-issue reference files with code-level causes and per-SDK fixes.

Validating And Publishing Canvases
PostHog
Validate and publish a canvas source project safely: the source-project shape, declared capabilities, reading the current version pointer, iterating on validation diagnostics, guarded publishing with expected_current_version_id, staging a draft build and promoting it, waiting out the queued build, and recovering from a 409 version_conflict or a 429 capacity limit without overwriting concurrent work. Use whenever a canvas edit is ready to save, a draft build is wanted, a canvas publish or build returns diagnostics or a conflict, or a task needs to understand canvas version history.
Understanding Billing Usage
PostHog
Explains PostHog billing usage and spend from the customer's visible Billing MCP tools. Use when the user asks why usage or spend is high, which product or project is driving usage, what a usage type means, how to reduce usage, what changed over time, why they got a usage change alert, or whether a spike/drop alert was real or noisy. Also use before product-specific analytics skills when the user names a billable PostHog product metric such as events, recordings, feature flag requests, exceptions, survey responses, synced rows, logs, AI events, AI credits, or Inbox credits. Starts from Billing usage/spend tools, then routes to customer-visible product MCP surfaces for deeper investigation.
