Cause (Documented platform behavior): When a connection is returned to a full LifoQueue pool (non-blocking pool), urllib3 closes it and logs this warning. Defaults are 10 in both requests' HTTPAdapter and botocore's endpoint.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- It is a warning, not an error; requests still succeed.

Connection pool size: %s' when the pool queue is full.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Log floods with the warning; throughput drops because connections are opened and discarded (new TLS handshakes) instead of reused.
- Context
- Product: urllib3 (via requests and botocore/boto3) Component: HTTPConnectionPool sizing Operation: Sharing one requests.Session or boto3 client (e.g. bedrock-runtime) across >10 threads / concurrent tool calls Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: requests checked 2.34.2, urllib3 checked 2.8.0, botocore checked 1.43.103 Trigger: Concurrency above the pool size: requests DEFAULT_POOLSIZE = 10, botocore MAX_POOL_CONNECTIONS = 10.

Proposed fix: [urllib3 / requests / boto3] WARNING 'Connection pool is full, discarding connection: <host>. Connection pool size: 10' — more threads than pool_maxsize / max_pool_connections
Recommended action: Size the pool to your concurrency: requests HTTPAdapter(pool_connections=..., pool_maxsize=N) mounted on the Session; boto3 client(config=botocore.config.Config(max_pool_connections=N)).
