Note

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF , use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Permanently deletes a RateBasedRule. You can't delete a rule if it's still used in any WebACL objects or if it still includes any predicates, such as ByteMatchSet objects.

If you just want to remove a rule from a WebACL , use UpdateWebACL.

To permanently delete a RateBasedRule from AWS WAF, perform the following steps:

  • Update the RateBasedRule to remove predicates, if any. For more information, see UpdateRateBasedRule.
  • Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteRateBasedRule request.
  • Submit a DeleteRateBasedRule request.
