+ * permits = 5,  period = 1, unit = seconds  =>  5 requests per second
+ * permits = 10, period = 2, unit = minutes  =>  10 requests per 2 minutes
+ *
+ * @param permits {Int}   Number of requests allowed within a period of units.
+ * @param period {Long}   The limiting duration. Defaults to 1.
+ * @param unit {TimeUnit} The unit of time for the period. Defaults to seconds.
