I'm not sure what you are trying to fix?  The whole point of the
ratelimit system is to nly allow no more than <burst> packages in a
particular time interval.  Once that time interval has expired,
messages allowed again until they exceed the burst limit.  So printing
messages once a second is, in fact, working as intended.
