I have installed the aws add-on for splunk on a heavy forwarder and I see the CPU USAGE is reaching almost 98 per almost every hour and when I ran the following command to see what is using the cpu.it was showing the aws_sqs_based_s3.py as the prime user

ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -10

%CPU PID USER COMMAND
9.9 5291 root python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/aws_sqs_based_s3.py
9.8 5254 root python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/aws_sqs_based_s3.py

9.1 5342 root python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_aws/bin/aws_sqs_based_s3.py

following is the info in the file

from aws_bootstrap_env import run_module

if name == 'main':
run_module('splunk_ta_aws.modinputs.sqs_based_s3')

Did anyone face these issues and is there any solution for it
