**Note**  
In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

 ** LastDecreaseDateTime **   <a name="DDB-Type-ProvisionedThroughputDescription-LastDecreaseDateTime"></a>
The date and time of the last provisioned throughput decrease for this table.  
Type: Timestamp  
Required: No

 ** LastIncreaseDateTime **   <a name="DDB-Type-ProvisionedThroughputDescription-LastIncreaseDateTime"></a>
The date and time of the last provisioned throughput increase for this table.  
Type: Timestamp  
Required: No

 ** NumberOfDecreasesToday **   <a name="DDB-Type-ProvisionedThroughputDescription-NumberOfDecreasesToday"></a>
The number of provisioned throughput decreases for this table during this UTC calendar day. For current maximums on provisioned throughput decreases, see [Service, Account, and Table Quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Limits.html) in the *Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide*.  
Type: Long  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.  
Required: No

 ** ReadCapacityUnits **   <a name="DDB-Type-ProvisionedThroughputDescription-ReadCapacityUnits"></a>
The maximum number of strongly consistent reads consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a `ThrottlingException`. Eventually consistent reads require less effort than strongly consistent reads, so a setting of 50 `ReadCapacityUnits` per second provides 100 eventually consistent `ReadCapacityUnits` per second.  
Type: Long  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.  
Required: No

 ** WriteCapacityUnits **   <a name="DDB-Type-ProvisionedThroughputDescription-WriteCapacityUnits"></a>
The maximum number of writes consumed per second before DynamoDB returns a `ThrottlingException`.  
Type: Long  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.  
Required: No
