Explanation

The throttling issue in production is likely caused by concurrent executions exceeding the account's limits or SES sending limits being breached. By configuring reserved concurrency for the Lambda function, the developer can limit and control the number of concurrent executions, helping to stay within Amazon SES rate limits and avoid throttling.
