It’s not entirely clear from the documentation what API call rate limit apply to account-level application.  
I guess user-level application have the standard 10 request/sec limit per authenticated user.  
Account-level applications, if I’m not mistaken, are installed and authorized by account admins, and use the same OAuth token for all users. Does the same 10 rps limit apply in this case?

It depends. If it is an OAuth account level app then the rate limit would be applied to the user. If it is a JWT app then the rate limit would be applied to the app itself.
