serious bug: remaining times is stuck when use "storage" option with nestjs-redis

Without using the RedisStorage, the module throws an exception after 30 requests, as you've set.

I used this zsh script to test it

throttlerTest() {
  dummy=count
  count=0
  while true
  do
    curl -s --fail http://localhost:3000/app/hello
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]
    then
      echo "We got rate limited"
      curl -v http://localhost:3000/app/hello
      break
    fi
    (($dummy += 1))
  done
  echo "Requests made before limiting:"
  echo $count
}

And got back

❯ throttlerTest

{"statusCode":429,"message":"ThrottlerException: Too Many Requests"}Requests made before limiting:
30

So like you said, it works normally, meaning there's a problem with how the sub-library works and returns the ttls that are used in this line for the header calculation
