Hello,

I believe you can limit your api calls with tags, please check the below document for further details.

> **[Limit API calls to AWS using tags](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/amazon-web-services-classic/integrate-with-aws/cloudwatch-metrics/limit-api-calls-to-aws-using-tags)**
>
> Add and configure AWS tags to limit AWS resources.

Thanks,
