What is AWS CUPM2MAppClientsFull?

Last updated: April 27, 2025

Amazon Cognito supports machine-to-machine (M2M) use cases using the OAuth 2.0 specification’s client credentials flow. You can use Amazon Cognito to set up your service (software or an API service represented as an “app client”), establish the app client credentials, and issue access tokens in exchange for these credentials (known as token requests). These access tokens can then be used to communicate with your services. You can configure the validity of the access token for each service. You can also determine token usage per app client.

Amazon Cognito charges you along two dimensions for the M2M authorization usage. You are charged monthly per app client, prorated by the second. You are also charged monthly per successful token response. This is the billing code associated with the number of app clients per month. Pricing begins at $6.000 per app client per month and has graduated tiered pricing from there.
