How can I check the current number of active tasks?

You can check the current number of active tasks using the **`activeCount`** property on the limit function.

According to the API documentation [index.d.ts:L1-L6], `activeCount` is a read-only property that returns "The number of promises that are currently running."

Here's how to use it:

```js
import pLimit from 'p-limit';

const limit = pLimit(5);

// ... queue up some tasks ...

console.log(limit.activeCount); // Check how many are running right now
```

Similarly, if you want to see how many tasks are **waiting** to run (not yet executing), you can use the **`pendingCount`** property [index.d.ts:L8-L11], which returns "The number of promises that are waiting to run (i.e. their internal `fn` was not called yet)."
