+
+```sh
+while :; do curl --write-out '%{http_code}' --silent --output /dev/null -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://localhost:9080/toy | egrep --color "\b(429)\b|$"; sleep 1; done

+Send requests as the service account:
+
+```sh
+while :; do curl --write-out '%{http_code}' --silent --output /dev/null -H "Authorization: Bearer $SA_TOKEN" -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://localhost:9080/toy | egrep --color "\b(429)\b|$"; sleep 1; done

+
+Each user should be entitled to a maximum of 5 requests to the API every 10 seconds.
+
+> **Note:** You may need to refresh the tokens if they are expired.
