It turned out that it wasn’t a problem with rounding in Lua script. Lua script gets already rounded values.

Moreover, it’s not a problem with rounding at all. Unrounded seconds might be used, and it would be possible to receive a 429 response with `Retry-After: 0` anyway.

Here is the fix for the main problem:

And here is the fix for an additional problem that can occasionally cause the same error:
