Will withAutoCreateTable(true) always try to create a table?

We found a bunch of errors in our cloudtrail event as below, seems some processes are trying to create an existing table constantly.

 "eventTime": "2022-02-07T01:45:48Z",
    "eventSource": "dynamodb.amazonaws.com",
    "eventName": "CreateTable",
    "awsRegion": "us-east-1",
    "userAgent": "aws-sdk-nodejs/2.1001.0 linux/v12.22.7 exec-env/AWS_Lambda_nodejs12.x callback",
    "errorCode": "ResourceInUseException",
    "errorMessage": "Table already exists: xxx",

In index.js, we are doing something like below

exports.handler = Alexa.SkillBuilders.standard()
--
  | .addRequestHandlers(...IntentHandlers, ...AudioIntentHandlers)
  | .addErrorHandlers(ErrorHandler)
  | .addRequestInterceptors(...Interceptors.request)
  | .addResponseInterceptors(...Interceptors.response)
  | .withSkillId(constants.SKILL_ID)
  | .withTableName(constants.xxx)
  | .withAutoCreateTable(true)
  | .lambda();

I'm wondering will withAutoCreateTable(true) always try to create a table even if it exists? So it will throw ResourceInUseException as above that will be shown in Lambda function's error metric?

Tested, seems such error won't show in Lambda function's error metric

Is this issue/feature-request still relevant? We are working on prioritization of relevant issues and cleanup of rest. If we don’t hear back in 2 weeks, we will assume that the issue is not relevant and we will close it.
