No. (Unless the request rate is so high that it could also be expressed
per minute.)

The config interface only allows integer requests per second or per
minute.

The implementation seems to allow integer requests-per-thousand-seconds,
but it's not immediately clear to me how exact that can be at low numbers.

But if you wanted to play, minor patching could let you set values there,
which could be of the order of hundreds of request per day. Perhaps that
would work well enough for you?

Otherwise, it looks like it would require significant patching to
implement what you might want. At that point, you may be better off with
a different starting module.

Cheers,
