We are running on .NET Core 3.1.5, this exception seemed to only appear when we moved over to .NET Core 3.0

There have been similiar issues opened in the past, https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/19476#issuecomment-629457165 and https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/6575.

This exception seems to be thrown when a client aborts mid-request.
My question is, should this be logged as a warning instead of an exception? It creates a lot of noise in our logs.

The exception needs to be thrown from the request body APIs so you don't think the request finished gracefully, but the caller should catch it. In this case that's MVC, and I think they're adding something in 5.0.

We've moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release. We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time.

Do you recommend just filtering out the exceptions?

Yes
