Is AWS Parameter store throughput limit for per key or the whole service?

Question

I found the below limit AWS describes for Parameter Store.

Default throughput: 40 (Shared by the following API actions: GetParameter, GetParameters, GetParametersByPath)

Higher throughput: 100 (GetParametersByPath)

Higher throughput: 1000 (Shared by the following API actions: GetParameter and GetParameters)

For more information about Parameter Store throughput, see Increasing Parameter Store Throughput in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.

I am wondering if the limit is for an individual key or the whole Parameter Store service(per account or region)

Answer 1

I believe throughput is the maximum number of transactions per second (TPS) that Parameter Store can process. So these limits are for the Parameter Store and not for the individual key.
