Why do you expect 20 to fail?

I expect 0 to fail.

Unless you use "nodelay", in which case the number of failures depends
on how quickly the requests are received.

Note: "100/s" does not mean "accept 100, then accept no more until 1
second has passed". It means something closer to "accept 1, then accept
no more until 0.01 seconds has passed".
