            key: The key we should use when rate limiting. Can be a user ID
                (when sending events), an IP address, etc.
            time_now_s: The time now.
            rate_hz: The long term number of messages a user can send in a
                second.
            burst_count: How many messages the user can send before being
                limited.
            update (bool): Whether to update the message rates or not. This is
                useful to check if a message would be allowed to be sent before
                its ready to be actually sent.

            A pair of a bool indicating if they can send a message now and a
                time in seconds of when they can next send a message.
