Yes.

Each state is needed to be kept till it has something in the bucket.

If in the first case the clients doesn't send requests at the same time, but
with 100ms interval between each other, then a place for one state would be
enough. Otherwise, nginx will need up to 10 states to handle them.

In the second case only one state is used.
