| More Info | AWS will maintain a point to which the database can be restored. This point should not drift too far into the past, or else the risk of irrecoverable data loss may occur. |
| AWS Link | http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_PIT.html |
| Recommended Action | Ensure the instance is running and configured properly. If the time drifts too far, consider opening a support ticket with AWS. |
- Log in to the AWS Management Console.
- Select the "Services" option and search for RDS.
- Scroll down the left navigation panel and choose "Databases".
