On 9 Sep 2026 AWS raised LMI async and ESM timeout from 15 to 90 minutes (5,400 s). A 90-minute SQS consumer needs at least 9 hours of visibility. Sync and classic on-demand Lambda stay at 15 minutes.

After Mar–May 2026 LMI updates (32 GB / 16 vCPU, 4,096 FDs, EventBridge scheduled scaling), a B2B analytics API (~40k peak RPM, 9–6 UTC) cut idle capacity cost ~62% by scheduling MinExecutionEnvironments 20→3 off-peak.
