lalinsky: Can this please be merged? There is no reason to restrict rate to >=1.
vytas7: Thanks for the reminder, I was totally unaware we had PRs over here 🙂 

We'll take a look at this!

Rate cant be smaller than one
Hello,
this is more feature request rather than bug.
In the limiter there is now still check that the rate is not smaller than one. 
As rate can be float now, I believe that this test should be relaxed to allow values bigger than zero to allow for rates lower than one request per second - like for example limiting API calls to application to 10 requests per minute with rate=10.0/60
