Get Rate Limit

Get current rate limit details about an access token.

There is an account level rate limit of 5,000 calls per hour for v1 API calls regardless of how many access tokens you have. If an access token surpasses this limit, v1 API calls will return an error. After the hour has passed, the count will be reset to a full 5,000 available calls for v1 APIs.
