    Hi,
    I'm not too sure I understand the question correctly.
    You can control who subscribes to an API through the Product. This can be taken further with the use of "Groups/Communities" which restricts access to only those members who are part of you the Group or Community. Rate limits can be set for all APIs under the product or they can be set specifically per API. The configuration for both methods is done on the API Product.

    lets say the api is under product which has plan that is rate limited to 10 call per hour which subscribed to client A

    Client A call the api, when he call the api it doesn't know who is the caller, until it goes in client-security policy which check the client id. then i need to apply rate limit.

    what i tested is it take the rate limit of collection not the product plan the api published under it.

    Please make sure the API Security Policy requires Client ID. The Client ID locks the subscription to a Plan (therefore, Rate limit). If there are multiple plans for the product, make sure the Client ID subscribes to only one plan.

    So based on your reply to apply ratelimit of the plan i need to enable built in security "in the security tab"

    if i have client security policy in the flow, it only check if the client id match the one in API Manager or not doesn't check the plan the API Product is subscribed to?
