(aws-apigateway): cannot set usage plan throttle rate limit to decimal value

[mh1622]

What is the problem?

When attempting to set an API Gateway (v1) usage plan throttling rate limit to a double (i.e. decimal value) I receive an error stating that the value should be an integer. This restriction is not present in the AWS Console, and is contradicted by the AWS CLI documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/apigateway/create-usage-plan.html

rateLimit -> (double)

Reproduction Steps

api.addUsagePlan("usage-plan", {
    throttle: {
      rateLimit: 0.033, // requests per second (1 request every 30 seconds)
      burstLimit: 1,
    }
  });

What did you expect to happen?

cdk synth should not throw any errors.

What actually happened?

cdk synth throws: Throttle rate limit should be an integer

Bug appears to occur on this line of code: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-apigateway/lib/usage-plan.ts#L319

Removing the integer validation of rate limit would seem to be the correct fix.

You're right, CloudFormation accepts a double

Also, you can override the synthesized template with escape hatches
