Issue
Non-error replays are not useful in my application, I would like to only accept Replays that contain an error to better manage my Replays quota.

Resolution
To configure Sentry to send replays only when an error occurs, you can adjust the replaysOnErrorSampleRate and replaysSessionSampleRate parameters in your Sentry setup.
replaysSessionSampleRate: Defines the percentage of overall user sessions to sample. Setting this to 0 disables replays for all sessions.
replaysOnErrorSampleRate: Defines the percentage of error sessions to sample for replays. This ensures that replays are captured when an error occurs.
Sampling begins as soon as a session starts. replaysSessionSampleRate is evaluated first. If it's sampled, the replay recording will begin. Otherwise, replaysOnErrorSampleRate is evaluated and if it's sampled, the integration will begin buffering the replay and will only upload it to Sentry if an error occurs.
Here’s an example configuration in JavaScript:
