Not exactly. Overlimit means no eligible class could be found because
_all_ classes are over their limits, it can't be accounted to a specific
class but only globally. There is no way (except for backlog
statistics, but backlogs can also happen because of other reasons)
to tell if a single class is affected by rate limiting or not.
