Expected behaviours

The following is a list of expected behaviours for the optout ping:

• Sending the “optout” ping is best-effort. Telemetry tries to send the ping once and discards it immediately if sending fails.

• The ping might be delayed if ping sending is throttled (e.g. around midnight).

• The ping can be lost if the browser is shutdown before the ping is sent out the “optout” ping is discarded.
