+###### Note
+
+Amazon GameLift Servers automatically handles Amazon SNS delivery failures and throttling with built-in retry logic. When Amazon SNS returns throttling errors or temporary failures, Amazon GameLift Servers retries the notification delivery with progressive delays between attempts. This helps ensure event notifications are delivered reliably. However, notifications may be lost if failures persist after all retry attempts, or for non-retryable errors such as authorization failures or missing topics.
