}
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.
Version History
---------------
- Firefox 63:
- "optout" ping replaced the "deletion" ping (`bug 1445921 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1445921>`_).
