+Rate limit information is returned in the response headers:
+
+|Header|Description|
+| :--- | :--- |
+|`X-RateLimit-Limit`|Number of requests permitted per time period|
+|`X-RateLimit-Remaining`|Number of requests you can still make|
+|`X-RateLimit-Reset`|Timestamp when your rate limit will reset|
+
+{{< hint style="info" >}}
+Mind that an API method can be subject to multiple overlapping rate limits. The headers return information about the one you are closest to exceeding.
+{{</ hint >}}
