UsagePlan - Amazon API Gateway

UsagePlan

Represents a usage plan used to specify who can assess associated API stages. Optionally, target request rate and quota limits can be set. 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.
