AWS Secrets Manager now supports higher request rates for the GetSecretValue API operation of up to 5000 requests per second. This increased API limit will be applied to your accounts automatically. No further action required on your end.
AWS Secrets Manager enables you to retrieve and manage secrets such as database credentials and API keys throughout their lifecycle. AWS Secrets Manager also makes it easier to follow the security best practice of using short-term secrets by rotating secrets safely on a schedule that you determine. For example, you can configure Secrets Manager to rotate a database credential daily, turning a typical, long-term secret in to a short-term secret that is rotated automatically.
Increased GetSecretValue API limit is available in all regions where the service operates. For a list of regions where Secrets Manager is available, see the AWS Region table.
