I have two Amazon SQS queues that are monitored by two workers. I use it to send e-mails, send some worker requests. The typical back-end stuff. Must be around a few 100 jobs this month.
However, I am getting email from Amazon that I am already at at 887,457 Requests of the free tier 1,000,000 Requests of Amazon Simple Queue Service.
I am wondering how I am getting at this number? Do the workers poll the queue which is considered a request? If so, can we increase this interval?
