Currently configured Logstash V 7.8.1 with [SNS output plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-sns.html) .

It is running okay for a while then getting the following error message, then pipeline stops and never recovers.

Did anyone encounter this kind of error?

Thank you for any help.
