Check rate and object limit statuses

POST https://{{host}}/ccu/v3/rate-limit-status/:purge-type

The Fast Purge API uses a token bucket model for rate limiting to protect itself from inadvertent or malicious overuse. For each Akamai account, there's a rate limit shared by all object types (CP codes, cache tags, and URL/ARLs), and three separate resource limits for each object type. Each purge request uses one rate limit token from the requests bucket. Each purge object in a request takes up a token from the resource bucket. This operation fetches information on the remaining number of requests and objects for a specific account. You can use these details to monitor the request consumption or throttle requests to prevent exceeding the limits, which results in the 429 error.
