In our case that means 100k+ requests every day =)

What do you think about this workaround? I've tested it locally.

class ImpersonateMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):
    def process_request(self, request):

        def _get_usr():
            _usr.is_impersonate = False
            return _usr

        request.user = SimpleLazyObject(_get_usr)
        request.impersonator = None
