# AWS::DynamoDB::Table OnDemandThroughput
<a name="aws-properties-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput"></a>

Sets the maximum number of read and write units for the specified on-demand table. If you use this property, you must specify `MaxReadRequestUnits`, `MaxWriteRequestUnits`, or both.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-properties-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-properties-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "[MaxReadRequestUnits](#cfn-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-maxreadrequestunits)" : Integer,
  "[MaxWriteRequestUnits](#cfn-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-maxwriterequestunits)" : Integer
}
```

### YAML
<a name="aws-properties-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-syntax.yaml"></a>

```
  [MaxReadRequestUnits](#cfn-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-maxreadrequestunits): Integer
  [MaxWriteRequestUnits](#cfn-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-maxwriterequestunits): Integer
```

## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-properties"></a>

`MaxReadRequestUnits`  <a name="cfn-dynamodb-table-ondemandthroughput-maxreadrequestunits"></a>
Maximum number of read request units for the specified table.  
To specify a maximum `OnDemandThroughput` on your table, set the value of `MaxReadRequestUnits` as greater than or equal to 1. To remove the maximum `OnDemandThroughput` that is currently set on your table, set the value of `MaxReadRequestUnits` to -1.
