DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Reverts the dynamic sampling docs to the state before custom sample rates were added (commit 657da84).

Why: The custom sample rates feature was never made available on AM3 (spans-based billing) plans. Customers on AM3 read the docs, look for the settings screen, can't find it, and contact support. Since this feature is no longer offered to new customers, the docs should not describe it.

Removed:

  • Configuration of Custom Sample Rates (Default/Advanced modes, Project Preview)
  • Sample Rates for Distributed Traces
  • SDK versus Dynamic Sampling comparison
  • All custom sample rates UI screenshots (5 images)

Retained:

  • Overview (rewritten to match the original retention priorities framing)
  • Prerequisites
  • Dynamic Sampling Priorities (automatic, applies to all plans)
  • Deciding on Your SDK Sample Rate (linked from other pages)

IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT?

  • Urgent deadline (GA date, etc.)
  • Other deadline
  • None: Not urgent, can wait up to 1 week+

PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST

  • Checked Vercel preview for correctness, including links
  • PR was reviewed and approved by any necessary SMEs (subject matter experts)
  • PR was reviewed and approved by a member of the Sentry docs team

Remove the custom sample rates documentation that was added in
657da84 (feat(dynamic-sampling): organization settings). This feature
was never made available on AM3 (spans-based billing) plans, causing
confusion and support tickets from customers who read about it but
cannot find the settings screen.

Removed sections:
- Configuration of Custom Sample Rates (Default/Advanced modes)
- Sample Rates for Distributed Traces
- SDK versus Dynamic Sampling comparison
- All custom sample rates UI screenshots

Retained sections:
- Overview (rewritten to match pre-657da84a4 retention priorities framing)
- Prerequisites
- Dynamic Sampling Priorities (automatic, applies to all plans)
- Deciding on Your SDK Sample Rate (linked from other pages)
