Connection pool size: 10' — more threads than pool_maxsize / max_pool_connections ## Body 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.
