This API supports two pagination methods:
Method 1: Use the MaxResults parameter to set the number of records per page and the NextToken value from the previous DescribeDBInstances API call to retrieve the next page of results.
For your first paginated request, you only need to set the MaxResults parameter. The response includes the first page of data and the corresponding NextToken value.
Method 2: Use the PageSize parameter to set the number of records per page and the PageNumber parameter to navigate to a specific page.
You can use only one of these methods at a time. When querying a large number of records, we recommend the first method for faster performance.
