No, why would I do that? The timer_ticks is updated manually every time timer ticks (pun intended). […]

yes, but if a timer is lost due to the CPU being too loaded, you still want to tick the lost event I guess? My understanding is that rate_ctr_group_intv() should be updated to take into account that timer_ticks can be increased more than once at a time, eg by storing last_timer_ticks, incrementing one vari ehre locally, passing it so that it can see if it lot the tick which should have updated it.
