recursiveLoop

If you set your function's recursive loop detection configuration to Allow, Lambda doesn't take any action when it detects your function being invoked as part of a recursive loop. We recommend that you only use this setting if your design intentionally uses a Lambda function to write data back to the same Amazon Web Services resource that invokes it.

If you set your function's recursive loop detection configuration to Terminate, Lambda stops your function being invoked and notifies you when it detects your function being invoked as part of a recursive loop.

By default, Lambda sets your function's configuration to Terminate.

If your design intentionally uses a Lambda function to write data back to the same Amazon Web Services resource that invokes the function, then use caution and implement suitable guard rails to prevent unexpected charges being billed to your Amazon Web Services account.
