How does golang implement the Rate Limiter

// reserveN is a helper method for AllowN, ReserveN, and WaitN.
// maxFutureReserve specifies the maximum reservation wait duration allowed.
// reserveN returns Reservation, not *Reservation, to avoid allocation in AllowN and WaitN.
func (lim *Limiter) reserveN(now time.Time, n int, maxFutureReserve time.Duration) Reservation {
	lim.mu.Lock()

	if lim.limit == Inf {
		lim.mu.Unlock()
		return Reservation{
			ok:        true,
			lim:       lim,
			tokens:    n,
			timeToAct: now,
		}
	}

	now, last, tokens := lim.advance(now)

	// Calculate the remaining number of tokens resulting from the request.
	tokens -= float64(n)

	// Calculate the wait duration
	var waitDuration time.Duration
	if tokens < 0 {
		waitDuration = lim.limit.durationFromTokens(-tokens)
	}

	// Decide result
	ok := n <= lim.burst && waitDuration <= maxFutureReserve

	// Prepare reservation
	r := Reservation{
		ok:    ok,
		lim:   lim,
		limit: lim.limit,
	}
	if ok {
		r.tokens = n
		r.timeToAct = now.Add(waitDuration)
	}

	// Update state
	if ok {
		lim.last = now
		lim.tokens = tokens
		lim.lastEvent = r.timeToAct
	} else {
		lim.last = last
	}

	lim.mu.Unlock()
	return r
}
