/aws/apigateway/api-name, or custom application log groups.

Access denied errors

Verify AWS credentials have logs:DescribeLogGroups, logs:DescribeLogStreams,

logs:StartQuery, and logs:GetQueryResults permissions.

Query timeouts

Reduce the time window or limit results. Large log groups may require multiple smaller queries.
