You can check for rate limiting by observing the HTTP response codes. A 429 Too Many Requests status code indicates that Cloudflare has rate limited your requests. You can also use tools like `curl` or browser developer tools to inspect the headers and see if the `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers are present, providing information about the remaining requests and the time until the rate limit resets.
