$ doctl account ratelimit

try on your machine

The "doctl account ratelimit" command is used in the DigitalOcean command-line interface (CLI) utility, doctl.

This command provides information about the rate limits for API requests on your DigitalOcean account. Rate limiting is a mechanism used by APIs to control the number of requests a user can make within a particular time period. It helps prevent abuse and ensures fair usage of the API.

When you run the "doctl account ratelimit" command, it retrieves the current rate limit status for your account from the DigitalOcean API. The response includes details such as the total number of requests you can make in a certain time duration (e.g., 5000 requests per hour), the number of remaining requests, and the time when the rate limit will reset.

This command is useful for developers and system administrators who want to monitor their API usage and ensure they don't exceed the rate limits imposed by DigitalOcean. By checking the rate limit status, you can make informed decisions about your API usage and avoid being throttled or blocked due to excessive requests.
