How do get serverless to tag the api stages? I have tried both stackTags, and the tag option but no of them dont set the tags in the api stages. The tags option is not work for any resource(lambda s3 etc)

I have the same issue. the documentation states that stackTags to apply to API gateway:

> **[Serverless Framework - AWS Lambda Events - API Gateway](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/apigateway/)**
>
> The Serverless Framework documentation for AWS Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, DynamoDB and much more.

yet this does not show up in the console  
I am using sls version 1.43.0

Seems this is still a bug. I can see a merge but its not working.

> On AWS tags are commonly used …for logically associating resources with each other and simplifying billing. Amazon's API Gateway stages support tags now 🎉 . However, those don't seem to be populated by Serverless yet:

> Serverless already supports tags for Lambda functions as well as a stack-wide tags (\`stackTags\`). As an API Gateway stage can only have one set of tags I suggest to automatically assign the \`stackTags\` to the API Gateway stages during deployment.
