What happens if a repeatable stream exceeds its maximum buffer size?

In a scenario where a repeatable stream exceeds its maximum buffer size, the application automatically fails. This is a safety mechanism designed to prevent system overloads and maintain performance stability. When the buffer limit is reached, no further data can be processed until the excess data is either cleared or managed appropriately, which results in the failure of the stream processing.

This automatic failure protects the application from potential crashes or memory issues that could arise from attempting to handle more data than the allocated buffer can manage. Consequently, it ensures that resources are utilized optimally without risking application stability.

Options suggesting that new data is simply ignored, that data is processed without restriction, or that additional data is archived don't accurately reflect the behavior of the system when it encounters a buffer overflow situation. Instead, the system will halt further operations to protect itself, thereby leading to an automatic failure.
