AWS cognito: Fix quota and getting-started links in threat protection docs

Service: cognito · 2026-10-09 · Documentation low

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pool-settings-threat-protection.md

Summary

Updated the request rate quotas link to quotas.html and the getting-started link to getting-started-user-pools-application.html. Text about IP block lists and app client prerequisites is unchanged.

Security assessment

Only the URL targets were corrected; the statement about blocked IP requests counting toward quotas is identical, so no security posture or guidance changed.

Evidence

+Blocked requests from IP addresses on an **Always block** exception list in your user pool contribute to the [request rate quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/quotas.html#category_operations) for your user pools.
