API Gateway throttling

I understand API Gateway will by default throttle requests when a rate of 10,000 steady requests per second is reached, (or above 5,000 bursting).  Is this limit per client, or per API endpoint?  For example: if two clients each had 9,000 requests to the same API endpoint within the same second, would they both get throttled?

According to AWS the limit is per account per region for each API:
