AWS - API Gateway
You created an API key and a usage plan, but API calls with the key are not limited by the usage plan. What is the most likely cause?
AThe usage plan has no throttle or quota limits set
BThe API key is not associated with the usage plan
CThe API key is expired
DThe API Gateway stage is not deployed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check API key and usage plan link

    Usage plans only apply limits if the API key is linked to them.
  2. Step 2: Verify other causes

    While no limits or deployment can cause issues, the key not linked means no limits apply.
  3. Final Answer:

    The API key is not associated with the usage plan -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Key must be linked to usage plan for limits [OK]
Quick Trick: Check if API key is linked to usage plan [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming usage plan limits apply without linking keys
  • Ignoring deployment status
  • Confusing expired keys with unlinked keys
