Does it support different Perplexity subscription tiers?

Yes, the skill includes logic and documentation for Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers to help you configure the correct requests-per-minute and daily limits for your specific plan.

Can I use this for high-concurrency tasks?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for queue-based rate limiting using libraries like p-queue to manage concurrent requests and ensure you never exceed your tier's burst capacity.

What is the benefit of idempotency keys in this skill?

Idempotency keys ensure that if a request is retried due to a timeout or network error, the Perplexity API recognizes it as a duplicate and won't process the same operation twice.

How does this skill handle Perplexity 429 errors?

It implements exponential backoff with jitter, which waits for increasing intervals before retrying a request, effectively preventing further rate limit violations and clearing congestion.
