How do I know my rate limit Okta?

What is Okta rate limit?
40 requests per user per 10 seconds
End-User Rate Limit Okta limits the number of requests from the Okta user interface to 40 requests per user per 10 seconds per endpoint. This rate limit protects users from each other, and from other API requests in the system.
Can a rate limit be set on an API?
If the rate-limited API is accessed via some form of backend process, it’s decidedly easier to limit the API queries using the backend code. Say your API only allows 20 requests per second. You can set up a process that only allows 20 requests a second to pass through.
Is there a rate limit for unauthenticated requests?

Note that the Search API has custom rate limit rules. The returned HTTP headers of any API request show your current rate limit status:
What happens if there are too many requests to an API?

If a user sends too many requests, API rate limiting can throttle client connections instead of disconnecting them immediately.
Can you limit calls to third party APIs?
Limiting calls made to third-party APIs and applications are some of the most challenging situations to limit. For example, if your clients call the Google Maps API directly, there’s not much you can do to limit that. You’re just going to have to pay for the appropriate level of data usage.
