TagResource

Associate a set of tags with an Amazon DynamoDB resource. You can then activate these user-defined tags so that they appear on the Billing and Cost Management console for cost allocation tracking. You can call TagResource up to five times per second, per account.

TagResource is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a ListTagsOfResource request immediately after a TagResource request, DynamoDB might return your previous tag set, if there was one, or an empty tag set. This is because ListTagsOfResource uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your tags or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the ListTagsOfResource request again.
The application or removal of tags using TagResource and UntagResource APIs is eventually consistent. ListTagsOfResource API will only reflect the changes after a few seconds.

For an overview on tagging DynamoDB resources, see Tagging for DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServerError

An error occurred on the server side.

HTTP Status Code: 500

LimitExceededException

There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.

For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include CreateTable, UpdateTable, DeleteTable,UpdateTimeToLive, RestoreTableFromBackup, and RestoreTableToPointInTime.

When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.

When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.

There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.

GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.

More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceInUseException

The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example:

You attempted to recreate an existing table.
You tried to delete a table currently in the CREATING state.
You tried to update a resource that was already being updated.

When appropriate, wait for the ongoing update to complete and attempt the request again.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceNotFoundException

The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be ACTIVE.

HTTP Status Code: 400
