Limitations and Known Issues

  • For a Salesforce (Platform Events) Subscriber Snap, retry attempts are not logged, and currently retries are attempted only for authentication errors.

  • Salesforce imposes a limit on the number of subscriptions. See Change Data Capture Allocations for details.

  • Supports only Platform and CDC events.

...

From 4.30 release, the Snap stops and reports the error immediately when it encounters the daily limit exceeded error. Earlier, the Snap reported an error and stopped only at the next resubscribe attempt when it encountered the daily limit exceeded error.
