If you are just trying to do a simple check to see if someone is over
a limit, there is no way to check a ratelimit value without incrementing
at least once.
Imagine ratelimiting a sender ip that sends to too many invalid recipients.
At some point in the transaction, you need to check the current ratelimit
value without incrementing (since you still want to check the ratelimit
value even if they are sending to a valid recipient). There is no way
that I am aware of to do this.
