I don't think this is right. Imho, Limit=0 should mean "allow 0 requests" ("always block").

What would you think of

  1. httprate.WithNoLimit() (aka Limit=-1)
  2. or zero increment httprate.WithIncrement(0)

instead?

	increment, ok := getIncrement(r.Context())
	if !ok {
		increment = 1
	}
	// If the increment is 0, we do not limit
	if increment == 0 {
		return false
	}
