No.

You may try to delay last byte of a response (or something like 
this, ideally - just a partially filled last packet) instead.

Alternatively, you may introduce some granularity for limits and 
always allow a chunk of data (something like one packet at least) 
if at least one byte is allowed.  This should mitigate problems 
introduced by millisecond resolution.
