SQS - Reduce Max Message Size of a non empty queue


I'm considering reducing the Max Message Size of a queue we're using on SQS.

What would happen to the messages on the queue already?
Will it end up in a "partial purge" enforcing the limit, or just restrict new messages that won't get added that way?

I couldn't find anything about that in the documentation, nor in any other resources.


Solution

  • I don't think that's documented anywhere, but I tried, and currently messages already in the queue aren't affected.

    Would still be nice to have an official statement whatsoever on that.
