Great, so now I have 100,000 duplicate bug reports to sort through because I forgot a null check and the logger automatically created an issue each time that error occurred (with different timestamps, causing duplicate detection to fail).

The duplication Issue can be solved in many ways.

First one that comes to mind is, the Issue Tracker should have a limit on the number of tickets a certain User can open.

If the Issue Tracker doesn't have that, then the company can have a firewall rule to only allow a certain number of calls per day to the API.

I'm sure there are dozens of other possible scenarios :)

So not only do you fill the issue tracker with ten thousand duplicate issues, but now you are blind to issues numbered #10000 or higher.
