   If anyone else runs into this and doesn't want to fork the repo, you can add the attributes using request hooks like so:

   client = fitbit.Fitbit(
       client_id,
       client_secret,
       oauth2=True,
       access_token=access_token,
       refresh_token=refresh_token,
       refresh_cb=on_token_refresh,
   )
       
   # Initialize rate limit attributes to None
   client.ratelimit_limit = None
   client.ratelimit_remaining = None
   client.ratelimit_reset = None
   # Define a hook function to grab headers from every response
   def save_rate_limit(response, *args, **kwargs):
       client.ratelimit_limit = response.headers.get('Fitbit-Rate-Limit-Limit')
       
       raw_remaining = response.headers.get('Fitbit-Rate-Limit-Remaining')
       if raw_remaining is not None:
           client.ratelimit_remaining = int(raw_remaining)
       else:
           client.ratelimit_remaining = 0
       
       raw_reset = response.headers.get('Fitbit-Rate-Limit-Reset')
       if raw_reset is not None:
           client.ratelimit_reset = int(raw_reset)
       else:
           client.ratelimit_reset = 0
   # Attach the hook to the client's internal session
   client.client.session.hooks['response'].append(save_rate_limit)
