Description

Is there a way to limit duplicated warnings, I've just seen a colleague working on a page which had 25,000 warnings, causing the page to become almost unusable. The issue was caused by a component that was repeated many times on the page, and so just a couple of accessibility issues with that component caused thousands of errors.

I appreciate fixing the accessibilty issue would solve this issue, but in the meantime development is severly affected as the warnings are slowing down the page significantly.

Research direction
Investigate how warnings are generated in the react a11y library and implement logic to deduplicate warnings based on the same issue to limit repeated warnings. Consider adding an option to cap the number of warnings per issue type.
