Description

Error: operation error CloudWatch Logs: StartLiveTail, exceeded maximum number of attempts, 3, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: e8f40c05-5a55-45c4-9bf3-e80bee6dc512, LimitExceededException: Rate exceeded

The AWS logger should be able to gracefully handle LimitExceededException. For deployments, only the ECS LogGroup is really important, the others are optional. Could always fall back to polling (query) when live tail fails and/or retry StartLiveTail periodically. For explicit tail/logs, the ECS LogGroup is not important.

Research direction

Start by locating the Go AWS logger path that calls CloudWatch Logs StartLiveTail and read how deployment and explicit tail/logs flows handle failures. Verify the behavior against rate-limit failures: deployments preserve the ECS LogGroup while optional groups degrade gracefully, and explicit tail/logs do not assume ECS priority.
