### Switching to Sample Mode
7676
Sample mode is generally to be preferred when the users are investigating specific events. There are primarily two cases when we should nudge users towards sample mode:
7777

78-
1. When the sample rate and the sample size are low, the extrapolation will be inaccurate and should not be used to draw conclusions. In this case should educate users towards that they can increase the value they can get out of the product by increasing the sample rate. We should also inform users that if they want to investigate individual events, they can switch to sample mode.
79-
2. When the sample rate is high and sample size is low, the user cannot significantly increase the number of samples by increasing the sample rate, so nudging them in this direction will not help, so we should refrain from littering the UI with banners. Here all we can do is to provide guidance about sample mode being more useful in this case.

### Opting Out of Extrapolation
8282
Users may want to opt out of extrapolation for different reasons. It is always possible to set the sample rate for specific events to 100% and therefore send all data to Sentry, implicitly opting out of extrapolation and behaving in the same way as sample mode. Depending on their configuration, users may need to change Dynamic Sampling settings or their SDK's traces sampler callback for this.
