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.
