Question

I am using cloud tasks, I want to set maxDispatchesPerSecond to 6/m.

when I try to update my app engine queue with below command:

☁  rate-limit [master] ⚡  gcloud beta tasks queues update-app-engine-queue cloud-tasks-rate-limit --max-dispatches-per-second='6/m'
ERROR: (gcloud.beta.tasks.queues.update-app-engine-queue) argument --max-dispatches-per-second: invalid float value: '6/m'

The error it's giving you is:

ERROR: (gcloud.beta.tasks.queues.update-app-engine-queue) argument --max-dispatches-per-second: invalid float value: '6/m'

'6/m' isn't a valid value. It requires a floating point value. Compute the value you want, and just enter that number.
