# Tag
<a name="API_dax_Tag"></a>

A description of a tag. Every tag is a key-value pair. You can add up to 50 tags to a single DAX cluster.

 AWS-assigned tag names and values are automatically assigned the `aws:` prefix, which the user cannot assign. AWS-assigned tag names do not count towards the tag limit of 50. User-assigned tag names have the prefix `user:`.

You cannot backdate the application of a tag.
