We've been getting this message quite a bit in one of our apps:
Some of the messages we're sending contain unicode characters, and we're sending a lot of messages in the batches. However as the message size calculation is counting the length of strings, instead of the number of bytes - we're getting warnings originating from boto3.
Temporary workaround is to drop the message/batch size - however the better fix is to change the size checking and truncation to look at the bytes of the messages.
