Yep, such is life with new tech. GenStage was 0.3.0 when we started using it. We'll be able to get this visibility once we update to a newer version (hasn't been prioritized).

FWIW, the buffer only fills up to the peak about once a month. Load shedding is the last ditch effort in catastrophic situations so that everything doesn't fall apart.

I don't find load shedding as acceptable, perhaps if there was a criteria for dropping based on priority it would make more sense.
I think it depends on your problem space.
