We recommend waiting for 60 seconds regardless of your queue's size. </p> </important> <p>Messages sent to the queue <i>before</i> you call <code>PurgeQueue</code> might be received but are deleted within the next minute.</p> <p>Messages sent to the queue <i>after</i> you call <code>PurgeQueue</code> might be deleted while the queue is being purged.</p>
The complete 23-action Amazon Simple Queue Service API, preserving AWS JSON 1.0, AWS Query compatibility, SigV4, and regional endpoint rules. Hub provides documentation and a local SDK/CLI; it does not proxy queue calls.
