AWS Lambda

Recursive loop detection is now supported for functions running in Europe Sovereign Cloud. This feature automatically detects and stops recursive invocations between Lambda functions and other supported services, preventing unexpected billing caused by unintended recursive loops.

When such a loop is detected, recursive loop detection automatically stops processing the event and sends you an AWS Health Dashboard notification with troubleshooting steps.

What to do

  • Ensure your Lambda functions are using a supported SDK version.
  • If your function intentionally uses recursive loops, use the PutFunctionRecursionConfig API to turn off recursive loop detection.
