Error: DynamoDB No Provisioned Throughput specified for the table
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Last updated: October 23rd, 2026
Solution
The create-table request selected provisioned capacity, explicitly or by omission, without supplying its capacity settings. Choose a billing mode deliberately.
- For on-demand, set
BillingMode: "PAY_PER_REQUEST"and omitProvisionedThroughput. - For provisioned mode, supply positive
ReadCapacityUnitsandWriteCapacityUnitsfor the table and any GSIs in the request.
Do not put read/write capacity settings on an LSI; it shares the table's capacity. See capacity-mode choices and CreateTable parameters.
