Hey all,  
I’ve come across several (somewhat-old) articles on this forum that outline API rate limits (ex: [Available settings for global rate limits and throttling](https://meta.discourse.org/t/global-rate-limits-and-throttling-in-discourse/78612)). I’m interested in this because, during the customization of our site, we’re making several API calls related to users and topics, and I’d like to ensure we keep the calls to a minimum.

Are these settings still configurable via the Admin panel? I haven’t come across anything thus far that relates to the Discourse API rate limits.

If not, is there a way to monitor the request activity somewhere?

Thank you in advance!
