You could use this package to use rate limiting with Redis or another source, like a file. Uses settings to set bucket size and rate as fractions of the time limit, so very small storage.

It allows you to wrap the check in an if, so it will wait for a free token to be available, 1 a minute in your example. In effect, it makes the service sleep for the required amount of time until a new minute.
