Inaccurate rate limit

We hit the 5000 api requests per day limit yesterday, then upgraded to business to resolve it keep our deployment pipeline online. However, today, the rate limit is hit again, but it seems to still be at 5000/day:
 

It says the limit is 50000, but used is always 5000, and requests get denied.

 

```

OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN="$T" op service-account ratelimit
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN="$T" op vault list --format json
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN="$T" op service-account ratelimit
unset T
TYPE       ACTION        LIMIT    USED    REMAINING    RESET
token      write         1000     0       1000         N/A
token      read          10000    0       10000        N/A
account    read_write    50000    5000    45000        12 hours from now

```

 

This is a serious issue for us, because we are not able to deploy without 1password CLI availability (recently moved all our secrets to 1password).
