What's the best way to manually increate an API key rate limit
Hey there
,
I have a pretty urgent question
: How can I manually increase the rate limit for an api key
?
Can I simply update the
rateLimitMax
rateLimitMax
column for the API manually
?
Also
, when I change the default rate limit for my API
, will it change retrospectively or would existing API keys have to be updated manually
?
It also seems like the docs are a bit out of date
. It does not seem like the
remaining
remaining
column is used at all
. It is empty for all my API keys
