Connector Limitations

  1. The rate of lookup requests for events stream is limited to two per second, per account, per region. While this connector performs retries when encountering a throttling error, if the errors continue repeatedly after multiple retries (e.g. multiple instances of this connector are using the same account and region), the connector sync will fail.
