AWS API Gateway Policy Per Header

I would like to have a policy on an API Gateway that would throttle requests based on a header value. For example, header value "AAA" would be allowed up to 10 requests per day, "BBB", 20 requests. Is this possible? How can I achieve this? Note: I am trying to avoid writing a lambda function for this purpose, because then I would need to keep state, etc.

API Gateway has Usage Plans, which support what you are attempting to do.

Each usage plan can have a throttling limit, which restricts requests per second and burst rate. Usage plans can also have quotas, which would allow you to add limits on requests per day.

API Gateway allows you to add API Keys to a usage plan. API Keys are sent HTTP header (x-api-key).

You can find more details in the Usage Plans for API Gateway launch blog and API Gateway Usage Plan docs.
