# Usage Plans

Available in Classic and VPC

After you create and deploy an API, you can control API usage through a Usage Plan.

              Note

              

You can also set a default Usage Plan at the API stage. For details, see [Change Usage Plans](/docs/en/apigw-myproducts#UsagePlans%EB%B3%80%EA%B2%BD) in the **My Products** menu.

## Usage Plans interface and list
