Congress suspended the debt ceiling for a year in February 2018, which allowed the US to rack up new debt until the limit was reimposed on March 2.

While the country can't add to the debt load until the ceiling is either raised or suspended by Congress, the Treasury Department can use its "extraordinary measures" to move funds around and prevent a breach of the ceiling for a few more months."
