Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Identify throttling parameters

    API Gateway throttling uses rate limit and burst limit to control request flow.

    Rate limit controls steady requests per second; burst limit allows short spikes.

    Throttling limits = Rate + Burst [OK]
Quick Trick: Rate and burst limits control request flow [OK]

  • Confusing burst limit with data size
  • Assuming user/session limits are throttling
