Does it support request queuing?

Yes, it provides implementation examples using p-queue to manage concurrency and ensure your application doesn't exceed the Perplexity burst limits.

What is the benefit of idempotency keys in this skill?

Idempotency keys ensure that if a request is retried due to a network error, Perplexity will not process the same request twice, preventing duplicate charges or actions.

How does this skill handle Perplexity 429 errors?

It implements an exponential backoff algorithm with jitter that automatically calculates a delay and retries the request until it succeeds or reaches a maximum retry limit.

Can I use this for different Perplexity pricing tiers?

Yes, the skill includes reference data and handling logic for Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers to help you stay within your specific account limits.
