Dynamo Table Correct Throughput handling

I have sort of a problem of handling throughput in dynamodb table.

If i set a throughput of 500 WCU in a specific table, does it mean that we have to pay that WCU even if its seldomly consumed? We usually add 2000-4000 data to that table at least once a week. Am i right?

Out of curiosity, have you read How Amazon DynamoDB adaptive capacity accommodates uneven data access patterns (or, why what you know about DynamoDB might be outdated) yet?

Yes, you'll have to pay for the capacity even if it's unused. You could look into DynamoDB Auto Scaling to automatically scale up and down your capacity based on utilization.
