Guided Practice (We-do):

To find the maximum and the remaining allocation limits for your org, we will use Workbench. Perform the steps below: 

1. Open the Workbench and log in with your Trailhead playground username and password.
2. Make sure that you’ve selected the Production for Environment option.
3. Navigate to Utilities tab and select the REST Explorer option.
4. Select the following options:
   
   1. Choose an HTTP method to perform on the REST API service URI below: GET
   2. URL: /services/data/v54.0/limits/
   3. Click Execute.
5. Check out the respective limits in the response body.
