Change capacity mode

When you switch a table from provisioned capacity mode to on-demand capacity mode, Amazon Keyspaces makes several changes to the structure of your table and partitions. This process can take several minutes. During the switching period, your table delivers throughput that is consistent with the previously provisioned WCU and RCU amounts.

When you switch from on-demand capacity mode back to provisioned capacity mode, your table delivers throughput that is consistent with the previous peak reached when the table was set to on-demand capacity mode.
