The reason I multiply the recording duration by two is to give the test some slack in case we run into clock issues where the time taken for the event doesn't match the recording. Purpose of the check is to make sure we don't end up with the mask being added to the duration.

Suggestion:

    public static class UnthrottledEvent extends Event {
