API Gateway server side throttling support?

Hello,

We currently manage our API Gateway as a simple HTTP event on our Lambda function. e.g.

events:
- http:
    path: /
    method: post

We’d like to change the default rate/burst throttling limits for the API using Server-side throttling limits set on stage (or overidden at the method level).

Can we do this through the standard event offered by the framework or do we have to define the Gateway seperately as a resource to be able to access all of the API Gateway properties?

I know that the framework supports throttling using a usage plan but at this stage we would like to try and configure server side throttling natively through the framework. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
