1Password Service Accounts have hourly limits and daily limits. Hourly limits control the number of read and write actions a service account can perform within a 60-minute window. Daily limits determine the total number of requests that all service accounts within a 1Password account can make in a 24-hour window. Some 1Password CLI commands make more than one request. You can use op service-account ratelimit to get rate limit usage data for the service account currently set with the OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN environment variable. To get information about a specific service account, specify a service account by its name or ID.
