CCC.Core.TH12: Resource Constraints are Exhausted
Threat ID:CCC.Core.TH12
Title:Resource Constraints are Exhausted
Description:
Exceeding the resource constraints through excessive consumption, resource-intensive operations, or lowering of rate-limit thresholds can impact the availability of elements such as memory, CPU, or storage. This may disrupt availability of the service or child resources by denying the associated functionality to users. If the impacted system is not designed to expect such a failure, the effect could also cascade to other services and resources.
