API Gateway - Execution failed: Resource forbidden due to invalid API Key

Question

API gateway is returning:
```
< HTTP/2 403 
< date: Sun, 07 Jul 2024 02:51:24 GMT
< content-type: application/json
< content-length: 24
< x-amzn-requestid:
< x-amzn-errortype: BadRequestException
< x-amz-apigw-id:=
< 
* Connection #0 to host example.execute-api.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com left intact
{"message": "Forbidden"}%
```
when api key required is configured for a method.

In CloudWatch logs a single entry that says "Execution failed: Resource forbidden due to invalid API Key"

Things that have been checked in the web console:
 - key added to a usage plan
 - usage plan assigned to stage
 - api key is correct
 - request is being sent with "X-Api-Key"
 - key is correct
 - stage is deployed
 - method is correct
 - no other authroizer enabled

The API Gateway console doesn't seem to correctly handle the REST apis. If you perform the following the CLI
```
aws apigateway get-api-keys shows
```
you'll see that the keys are missing configuration for `stageKeys`
```
"stageKeys": []
```

You can set this using the CLI
```
aws apigateway update-api-key --api-key {KEY_ID} --patch-operations op='add',path='/stages',value='{API_GATEWAY_ID}/{STAGE}'
```

The change will take up to 5 minutes to apply (usually shorter)

Make sure your API gateway account is migrated to use the `UsagePlans` feature.

In our case, the AWS console was unaware of it and just assumed it was enabled. But it wasn't.

To check your account supports usage plans, execute

```
> aws apigateway get-account
```

Check for `features`, it should include `UsagePlans` item.

If it's not there, execute

```
> aws apigateway update-account --patch-operations op='add',path='/features',value='UsagePlans'
```

This will also create default usage plans, and you may need some cleanup because duplicated usage plans are not allowed.

AWS is such crap. There is always some BS thing like this that is completely obscured in the console and wastes hours of dev's lives.
