 + Ignore sudden spikes that are most likely not related to an increase in load (see [Capacity metric behavior](#capacity-metric-behavior) section for explanation).
 + As a general rule, upgrade or scale your instance when a capacity metric value exceeds **60% - 70%** for a long period of time (for example, 30 minutes). Different values may work better for your service or scenario.
 + If your instance or workspace gateway is configured with only 1 unit, upgrade or scale it when a capacity metric value exceeds **40%** for a long period. This recommendation is based on the need to reserve capacity for guest OS updates in the underlying service platform.
++ Use [available diagnostics](monitor-api-management.md) to monitor the response times of API calls. Consider adjusting scaling thresholds if you notice degraded response times with increasing value of capacity metric. 
 
 > [!TIP]  
 > If you are able to estimate your traffic beforehand, test your API Management instance or workspace gateway on workloads you expect. You can increase the request load gradually and monitor the value of the capacity metric that corresponds to your peak load. Follow the steps from the previous section to use Azure portal to understand how much capacity is used at any given time.

+## Route API calls to regional backend services
 
 By default, each API routes requests to a single backend service URL. Even if you've configured Azure API Management gateways in various regions, the API gateway will still forward requests to the same backend service, which is deployed in only one region. In this case, the performance gain will come only from responses cached within Azure API Management in a region specific to the request; contacting the backend across the globe may still cause high latency.
 
 To take advantage of geographical distribution of your system, you should have backend services deployed in the same regions as Azure API Management instances. Then, using policies and `@(context.Deployment.Region)` property, you can route the traffic to local instances of your backend.
