**Tell us about your request**
Support ECS_TASK_METADATA_RPS_LIMIT parameter like the EC2-based ECS agent or a similar configuration in Task Definition.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
Fargate
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Our application running in Fargate is failing to download files from S3 due to API throttling limits on the metadata end point. We would like to increase the limit, particularly /v2/credentials endpoint on the task instance.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
We are planning to do exponential back-off. However, our pipeline uses a rigorous validation process so it will not be rolled out in time.
**Additional context**
We contacted AWS support and they pointed us to this roadmap. We also discuss about caching the credentials with AWS SDK.

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the Fargate request and its ECS_TASK_METADATA_RPS_LIMIT comparison; done would mean a supported parameter or similar Task Definition configuration that addresses throttling at the task metadata endpoint.
