Amazon Cognito enables self-service API rate limit adjustments
Amazon Cognito now offers a self-service mechanism for adjusting provisioned API rate limits on demand via the console or a new API. This allows developers to quickly adapt rate limits to fluctuating traffic, eliminating the previous manual review process via Service Quotas. These self-service limits are available for adjustable API categories in all Cognito-supported AWS Regions and take effect immediately.
