x/time: is not working on huge goroutine

[Petelin]

i write such test code

func main() {
	l := rate.NewLimiter(100, 1)

	var runCounts = new(atomic.Int64)

	go func() {
		for {
			go func() {
				t := time.Now()
				ok := l.AllowN(t, 1)
				if ok {
					runCounts.Inc()
				}
			}()
		}
	}()

	<-time.After(time.Second * 5)
	fmt.Println(runCounts.Load())
	return
}

i expect result is around 501, but actually it may be a very loard number like 12694.

is there any miss understanding?
