rate limit in twitter api

I'm using twitter developer API for my project. I have created an account with my phone number and email address. As you know there are some rate limits in twitter API!

For using API I should create app and user tokens of that app.

My question is that if I create multiple apps for that single account and use them in my project, my rate limit is multiplied by number of apps or requests are aggregated so my rate limit doesn't change?

Yes. It is limited by account.

Rate limiting of the standard API is primarily on a per-user basis — or more accurately described, per user access token. If a method allows for 15 requests per rate limit window, then it allows 15 requests per window per access token.
