I'm using the Redis implementation, and bucket.tryConsumeAndReturnRemaining(1). I then have a counter for every time the bucket limit is exceeded, so I can look at that graph.

However, this graph has some unexpected results! Its not intuitive how much I need to increase the size of my bucket in some cases.

Anything wrong with how I am configuring it?

        BucketConfiguration.builder()
            .addLimit(Bandwidth.simple(1000, Duration.ofSeconds(5)))
            .build()

^ I have thought that this would be about 200 requests-per-second

My issues/confusion was because I didn't see that I have to do something to override old config in Redis.
