--heartbeat-rate-limit-seconds flag is not properly configured in the config file

[leekib]

I’m using the VSCode extension, and even though I set heartbeat_rate_limit_seconds = 10 in the wakatime.cfg file, it seems that the actual heartbeat_rate_limit_seconds is being set to the default value of 120.

Looking at the code, it appears that the heartbeat_rate_limit_seconds value from wakatime.cfg is only read if the flag is explicitly set to 0. This behavior feels more like a bug than an intended design.

Additionally, even though I’ve set debug = true, I’m unable to see any debug logs. I’ve already made a simple fix for this issue and submitted a PR. Please let me know if I’ve missed anything.

I recently discovered WakaTime and thought it would be fun to show, in near real-time, what code I’m working on through my blog. So I hope this issue gets resolved soon!

Looking into it.
