Throughput exceeds the supported limit - Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka

Throughput exceeds the supported limit

  • Symptom: Data freshness climbs or delivery slows during sustained high-throughput periods.

  • Causes: The source throughput exceeds what the Channel can deliver at the configured freshness.

  • Resolution: Reduce the source produce rate, increase the configured data freshness, or distribute load across multiple topics/Channels. Monitor DataFreshness and the BytesIn / BytesOut metrics to confirm the delivery path keeps up. See the throughput figures in Amazon MSK Data Delivery quotas.
