Summary
A vulnerability with AWS API Gateway was uncovered that allowed rate limiting to be bypassed when the X-Forwarded-For headed was manipulated (a string added to the header key)
I was able to bypass the rate limit by adding extra space before the colon X-Forwarded-For<space>: 127.0.0.1. The actual bug was in AWS API Gateway that allowed rate limiting to be bypassed. Now Both of the company fixed the issue after reporting them.
