limiter.run('b') // Called in 200ms returns Promise.resolve('b')
limiter.run('c') // Called in 300ms returns Promise.resolve('c')

2. setTimer(Number) -> undefined

limiter.setTimer(1000)

3. incrementTimer(Number) -> undefined

Increment the timer by the inc option, do not increase greater than max if supplied

limiter.incrementTimer()

4. decrementTimer(Number) -> undefined
