I am using GameLift through the Go version of Server SDK5. When I instantiante the fleet with 50 game server processes on an instance (there is only one instance), I get this error in game server process logs :

It seems that the WebSocket server is throttling the connections because there are too many at a time. GameLift creates and runs all 50 processes of game servers within a timeframe of 50 milliseconds , each process then calls the SDK function gameLiftServer.InitSDK(), and so throttling happens. As a result, we have to do random sleeps to avoid the processes calling InitSDK() at the same time, and retrying if the call still fails with a 429 error.
Is that normal behavior ? With SDK4, we did the same thing, same number of calls, and no errors happened. Is there a way to increase the throttling maximums on the GameLift WebSocket server side ?
