For example when max_lat_at = 1858303049520 which is 1858.3030495199998 sec, max_lat_at_msec is meant to be 303. I must admit variable's name is bit misleading. Maybe just secs, msecs are better? Also just noticed u64 isn't needed for msecs.

Maybe you just wanted for variable names in sync rather than logic? Thanks!
