Requests to DynamoDB that exceed the provisioned write capacity units for a table or a global
secondary index.
A single request can result in multiple events. For example, a PutItem request on a table
with three global secondary indexes would result in four events—the table write, and each of
the three index writes. For each event, the WriteThrottleEvents metric is incremented by one
if that event is throttled. For single PutItem requests, if any of the events are throttled,
ThrottledRequests is also incremented by one. For BatchWriteItem, the ThrottledRequests
metric for the entire BatchWriteItem is not incremented unless all of the individual PutItem
or DeleteItem events are throttled.
The TableName dimension returns the WriteThrottleEvents for the table, but not for any global
secondary indexes. To view WriteThrottleEvents for a global secondary index, you must specify
both TableName and GlobalSecondaryIndex.
