AWS::ApiGateway::UsagePlan

The AWS::ApiGateway::UsagePlan resource creates a usage plan for deployed APIs. A usage plan sets a target for the throttling and quota limits on individual client API keys. For more information, see Creating and Using API Usage Plans in Amazon API Gateway in the API Gateway Developer Guide.

In some cases clients can exceed the targets that you set. Don’t rely on usage plans to control costs. Consider using AWS Budgets to monitor costs and AWS WAF to manage API requests.
