Why do I see this?
One of your streams has been throttled because its reads broke an AWS limit.
What does this mean?
A throttle can occur when GetRecords did one of the following:
- read too many reads per second
- read too many MiB per second
- read 10MiB or 10,000 records with one call
The last point will result in GetRecords calls failing for five seconds.
