Sentry
The free Sentry account allows 5000 events per month. Depending on the amount of events sent to Sentry you will either have to upgrade your Sentry account or have a period without data flowing from Home Assistant to Sentry.
The sentry integration integrates with Sentry to capture both logged errors as well as unhandled exceptions in Home Assistant.
