The original algorithm was very simple by just applying a pause after a specific number of allowed requests. When doing additional costly tasks after each requests this algorithm results in unnecessary delays and the sleep might be completely obsolete. Therefore calculate the time since the last check for a sleep. If this time delta is within the rate limit we wait for the required time before doing the next request.
