When we retry after a 429, we get another 429.

I suspect a round-down issue.

In our scenario:

- we do requests, and eventually get a `429 Too Many Request` with `Retry-After: 19`
- we wait 19 seconds, then try again:  
—\> We get a `429` again, with `Retry-After: 0 `

Now, can it be the actual values were 19.4 and 0.4 for example and they were rounded down for the Retry-After in the headers?
