Describe the bug
After upgrading to the latest release from 7.0.4699, all status page subscribers started receiving hundreds, some thousands of emails as soon as the upgrade finished - we had to disable them to stop the spamming as it just kept going over and over... This caused quite a bit of concerns and even email client crash...

Expected behavior
This should not have happened at all to begin with, but as an additional protection, there should be some throttling over how many notifications are sent to a specific recipient... After receiving something like 5-10 notifications on the same channel, something is up anyways, and they can access the status page...

Deployment Type
docker/docker-compose
