Does traffic dropped/blocked by the Apigee Spike-arrest policy count against our quarterly Apigee entitlement?

[sarthak · Accepted solution]

@evan.scheessele Yes, it is counted.

Any API request which comes in to Apigee is counted. Now once the request enters Apigee it can be rate limited,spike arrested,cached etc. but those are all features of Apigee. From the call counting perspective it does not matter if the call is not hitting the backend.

Darn, that's a shame.

Now, how about API calls which match no proxy's basepath? Does Apigee count API calls to our vhosts which don't match to any proxies or policies?

@evan.scheessele The api calls that do not match a proxy basepath would actually result in a classification failure. Which means those would not be able to determine the org and env the call was meant for, so those would not be counted against your "quota" of quarterly calls.
