Feature request: Ability to change interval and intervalCap at runtime

[galaczi]

As far as I can tell currently there is no way to change the interval and/or intervalCap at runtime. Is there any chance for this to be implemented?

The current solution is great if you know in advance that you want to run tasks at a steady rate. However, in more dynamic use cases changing interval or intervalCap would be very useful.

In my use case, I am checking for some kind of cancellation condition during task runs and, based on that, I need to be able to cancel (fast-forward) the queue if the condition is true. The problem is that this queue needs an interval cap, which is still applied during fast-forwarding, leading to a considerable delay before the queue is flushed.

My use-case would be to bolt in a PID-controller on API endpoints returning 429 with no explicit ratelimits specified in the documentation or endpoints that allow burst-like behavior. The only thing required for this would be to control #intervalCap property of PQueue at runtime (Updating that would be up to a task function wrapper/error handler and be outside of PQueue code). Currently this is doable with a PNPM patch.

Yes, this very much.

We want the ability to dynamically back off from throttles, adjusting the interval in realtime can allow us to do this.
