Kinesis operations fail when shard limit reached

How to detect:
Kinesis API throws exceptions when total shard count reaches the configured limit (default 100 shards), mimicking AWS shard quota limits.
Recommended action:
Increase KINESIS_SHARD_LIMIT beyond 100, or set to 'Infinity' to disable the limit entirely for testing. For production-like environments, plan shard allocation within the limit.
