I just pushed a change to reduce the stack memory usage when deleting a chain of exceptions in bpo-44348. I consider that this issue is a duplicate. If it's not the case, please reopen the issue.

    bpo-44348: BaseException deallocator uses trashcan (GH-28190)
    
    The deallocator function of the BaseException type now uses the
    trashcan mecanism to prevent stack overflow. For example, when a
    RecursionError instance is raised, it can be linked to another
    RecursionError through the __context__ attribute or the __traceback__
    attribute, and then a chain of exceptions is created. When the chain
    is destroyed, nested deallocator function calls can crash with a
    stack overflow if the chain is too long compared to the available
    stack memory.
