Hi Antonio,

Hopefully this example can help answer your question. Say if I provision a container with 10k RU's and I happen to have 10 partitions, then each partition will be allocated with 1K RU's. This is done for that particular second/exact moment of time.

This happens to the ones that are being queried at that particular moment. So if you have a time where only 5 partitions are being queried, than 2K RU/s will be allocated to each partition.

Hope I've explained that well enough? If you have more questions, let me know 😊
