Configuring automatic retry for throttled operations
There is a limit on the number of concurrent automation executions that can run in each account. Attempting to run several automations concurrently in an account can lead to throttling issues. You can use the automatic throttling retry capability to configure retry behavior for throttled automation steps.
Automatic throttling retry for automation actions provides a more resilient
execution environment for high-scale operations. The throttling retry capability
supports all automation actions except for
aws:executeScript.
The throttling retry setting works in addition to the existing
maxAttempts step property. When both are configured, the system
first attempts throttling retries within the specified time limit, then applies the
maxAttempts setting if the step continues to fail.
To configure throttling retry using the Amazon Web Services Management Console

In the navigation pane, choose Automation.
