[FEATURE] Documentation: Does throttling occur per-region?

[kennedyjustin]

If you need help troubleshooting a problem with Selling Partner APIs, please open a support case. Issues are for reporting documentation bugs and enhancements only.

Describe the improvement Could you make it clear in the documentation if rate limiting will occur per (Seller, Application), or per (Seller, Application, Region)?

URL of the content on GitHub https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs/blob/main/guides/en-US/usage-plans-rate-limits/Usage-Plans-and-Rate-Limits.md

Description of what the documentation currently says The documentation does not make mention of Marketplaces/Regions today.

Description of what the documentation should say Either:

• "All usage plans are specific to application-Selling Partner pairs, globally"
• "All usage plans are specific to application-Selling Partner-Region tuples"

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Well, technically both are correct. A Selling Partner ID is regional. So, let's say if you have Amazon USA, Amazon Mexico, Amazon Germany and Amazon France you have 2 Selling Partner IDs: One for Amazon North America Region (US,MX) and one for Amazon Europe Region (DE, FR) (two different seller central Accounts)

Thanks for the info - will keep this issue open because I do think the docs would benefit from some discussion about the Seller<->Region<->Marketplace relationship.

That's not an SP-API issue - That is fundamental to the structure of the entire set of marketplaces. One seller entity per region. Multiple Marketplaces per region. Multiple regions per planet.

I think the question is really more relevant to throttling. The relationship between sellers and regions is not unclear, it's the impact of that relationship on usage limits. That's what needs more clarity.

This is a very old issue that is probably not getting as much attention as it deserves. We encourage you to check if this is still an issue after the latest release and if you find that this is still a problem, please feel free to open a new issue and make a reference to this one.
