How to Investigate a Suspicious Increase in Cloud API Calls

An API call spike can come from new automation, retries, a deployment loop, or unauthorized use of a credential.

Checks to make

Segment audit events by identity, action, resource, and time, then compare with deployment and job schedules. Check for unusual regions or permissions, preserve logs, and contain credentials through the response process if activity is unexplained.
