AWS SQS Receive max number of message

Question

I read the SQS Doc, it stated that A single message batch request can include a maximum of 10 messages

Do this apply to both send and receive? Because I was planning to receive 200 message at one time.

Answer 1

According to this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-batch-api-actions.html

There are only following batch requests:

• SendMessageBatch
• DeleteMessageBatch
• ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch

Single ReceiveMessage action is limited up to 10.

For receive 200 messages - you need to poll queue multiple times until you read them all.
