How can I check the current number of active tasks?

You can check the current number of active tasks using the `limit.activeCount` property. This 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);

// After queuing some tasks...
console.log(limit.activeCount); // Number of promises currently running
```

A practical example from the recipes is monitoring progress while work is running [recipes.md:L191-L214]:

```js
const progressInterval = setInterval(() => {
	console.log(`Running: ${limit.activeCount}, pending: ${limit.pendingCount}`);
}, 250);
```

This allows you to track both active tasks and pending tasks (those waiting to run) at any time.
