• Requests to DynamoDB that exceed the provisioned read capacity units for a table or a global secondary index.

    A single request can result in multiple events. For example, a BatchGetItem that reads 10 items is processed as ten GetItem events. For each event, ReadThrottleEvents is incremented by one if that event is throttled. The ThrottledRequests metric for the entire BatchGetItem is not incremented unless all ten of the GetItem events are throttled.

    The TableName dimension returns the ReadThrottleEvents for the table, but not for any global secondary indexes. To view ReadThrottleEvents for a global secondary index, you must specify both TableName and GlobalSecondaryIndex.

    Units: Count

    Dimensions: TableName, GlobalSecondaryIndexName
