0.4.2.1 Checking Limits

Availability: rs

Rackspace binds various limits to accounts. These limits might be absolute, like a maximum total value of RAM consumed by all servers or these might be daily limits (i.e. they are reseted periodically), for example number of POST requests per minute.

lc-rs-limits tool displays current state of limits for your Rackspace account:

$ lc-rs-limits
