Description

The Troubleshooting page doesn't cover how to stop unwanted uptime checks. Users who start receiving SentryUptimeBot requests they didn't set up (often from an automatically created monitor) won't find the answer here: the "delete the monitor to stop it, and deletion prevents auto re-creation" fact only lives on the Automatic Detection page, and the User-Agent section on this page is framed around allowlisting the bot, not blocking it. So someone troubleshooting unwanted checks lands here and doesn't get a clear path to make them stop.

Suggested Solution

Add a short "Stop unwanted uptime checks" section to this page that: notes the monitor may have been auto-created (link to Automatic Detection), explains that deleting it stops the checks and prevents auto re-creation, and points to the SentryUptimeBot User-Agent as a way to block the requests in the meantime.
