Rate Limit Plugin: Issue with 'allow(1)->everySeconds(1)->sleep()' Exceeding One Request per Second #392

I'm encountering an issue with the rate limit plugin in my project. Specifically, when using the resolveLimits function with the sequence Limit::allow(1)->everySeconds(1)->sleep(), the plugin doesn't consistently adhere to the specified rate limit of one request per second. Occasionally, it exceeds this limit and makes multiple requests within a single second.

Upon investigating the plugin's code, I noticed a potential issue within the handleExceededLimit function. There seems to be a scenario where the $limit->getRemainingSeconds value reaches zero, possibly leading to the delay not being properly applied. While I can't confirm if this is the root cause, I made a modification to this method within my connector, and it appears to have mitigated the issue.

    protected function handleExceededLimit(Limit $limit, PendingRequest $pendingRequest): void
    {
        if (! $limit->getShouldSleep()) {
            $this->throwLimitException($limit);
        }

        $existingDelay = $pendingRequest->delay()->get() ?? 0;
        $remainingMilliseconds = ($limit->getRemainingSeconds() === 0 ? 1 : $limit->getRemainingSeconds()) * 1000;

        $pendingRequest->delay()->set($existingDelay + $remainingMilliseconds);
    }

In production, with the limit of one request per second and without changing anything in the handleExceededLimit method:

In localhost, setting the delay in handleExceededLimit as 0:

In localhost, setting the delay in handleExceededLimit to 1 if it $limit->getRemainingSeconds reaches 0:

    }

I'm seeking guidance on identifying the underlying cause of this inconsistency and exploring potential solutions. Could you please provide insights into what might be causing this behavior and suggest possible remedies?
