AWS HealthImaging throttling limits - AWS HealthImaging

Your AWS account has throttling limits that apply to AWS HealthImaging API actions. For all actions, a ThrottlingException error is thrown if throttling limits are exceeded. For more information, see the AWS HealthImaging API Reference.

Note

Throttling limits are adjustable for all HealthImaging API actions. To request a throttling limit adjustment, contact the AWS Support Center. To create a case, log in to your AWS account and choose Create case.
