[SOLVED] I get ThrottlingException while using AWS translate api

Issue

I am running this code to translate

translate = boto3.client(service_name='translate',
    aws_access_key_id="secret",
    aws_secret_access_key="secret",
    region_name='eu-central-1',
    use_ssl=True)

translate.translate_text(Text=data,SourceLanguageCode="de",TargetLanguageCode="en").get("TranslatedText")

Code runs properly for most of the test but suddenly throws the following error:

An error occurred (ThrottlingException) when calling the TranslateText operation (reached max retries: 4): Rate exceeded 

How to handle this exception?

Solution

This link has answers to throttling exceptions https://docs.aws.amazon.com/translate/latest/dg/what-is-limits.html#limits-throttling The service scales up the fleet based on the traffic pattern. I wonder at what TPS you hit the throttling limits.

Have you also tried a different region like eu-west-1?
