Assigning Plans to API Products
In order to subscribe to an API Product, one or more plans must have been assigned to it. This is done in the Plans view of that API Product.
Choosing the correct Quota/Rate Intervals
Not all platforms provide native support for all available intervals. When a plan is deployed to a platform that does not natively support a selected interval, the chosen limit will be converted to the closest available interval. This also means that deploying the same plan to multiple platforms may lead to different quota/rate configurations within those platforms.
Take a plan with 100.000 quota hits per week as an example. If the target platform does not support weekly quotas, but supports daily quotas instead, API Control Plane will configure a quota of 14.286 hits per day in that platform.
To avoid these conversions, you should only configure intervals that are natively supported by all your target platforms. The following intervals are natively supported in all platforms:
Quota: DAY or MONTH
Rate: SECOND
