This Events API-only event type has no "inner event". Instead, the complete payload you'll receive is similar to this JSON:

{

"team_id": "T123456",
"minute_rate_limited": 1518467820,
"api_app_id": "A123456"
}

This event type is only dispatched when your app is rate limited on the Events API. Rate limiting currently occurs when your app would receive more than 30,000 events in an hour from a single workspace.
