Amazon DynamoDB now supports more frequent throughput mode updates from provisioned to on-demand capacity

You can now update your Amazon DynamoDB table throughput mode from provisioned capacity to on-demand mode up to four times in a rolling 24-hour period. This enhancement makes it simpler for customers who have use cases which require loading large volumes of data into their DynamoDB tables multiple times per day, or want greater flexibility to manage their workload requirements and optimize costs. The increased quota also simplifies CloudFormation deployments and rollbacks, allowing templates to execute more readily without being blocked by previous changes. Previously, you could only set or update your table throughput mode to on-demand capacity once in a 24-hour period.

DynamoDB on-demand mode offers a truly serverless database experience with pay-per-request pricing and automatic scaling to accommodate the most demanding workloads without capacity planning. Many customers prefer the simplicity of on-demand mode to build modern, serverless applications that can start small and scale to millions of requests per second.

There is no charge for switching capacity modes, and the increased quota automatically applies to all DynamoDB tables. On-demand throughput is available in all AWS Regions. For more information about DynamoDB on-demand throughput, see the Developer Guide.
