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 [index.d.ts:L2-L4], `activeCount` is defined as:

```typescript
readonly activeCount: number;
```

with the description: "The number of promises that are currently running."

Here's a practical example from the recipes [recipes.md:L191-L214]:

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

const limit = pLimit(5);

const urls = getUrls(); // Assume this returns a list of URLs

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

This shows how you can periodically check `limit.activeCount` to monitor how many promises are actively running at any moment. You can also access it at any time by simply referencing `limit.activeCount` directly.
