**To obtain the capacity used by a set of rules**

The following ``check-capacity`` retrieves the capacity requirements for a rule set that contains a rate-based rule statement, and an AND rule statement that contains nested rules. ::

    aws wafv2 check-capacity \
        --scope REGIONAL \
        --rules file://waf-rule-list.json \
        --region us-west-2
