Requests over the rate limit are logged into the auth.log file.
For example, if you set a limit of 400 for POST /organizations, requests to the API endpoint that
exceed a rate of 400 within one minute are blocked. Access to the endpoint is restored after one minute.
You can configure the per minute rate limit per user for requests to the POST /organizations API. The default is 10.
