## Rate Limiting

This endpoint itself has minimal rate limiting:

* 60 requests per minute per API key
* Does not count against your trading rate limits

## Notes

* This endpoint is useful for debugging authentication issues
* The `request_count` is a lifetime counter for the key
* The `last_used_at` field helps identify inactive keys
* Rate limit information is real-time and updates with each request
* Use this endpoint to implement smart rate limit management in your applications
