Rate Limiting Queue

[kraftp]

You can now pass in a "limiter" to a queue, for example:

queue = Queue("test_queue", limiter={"max": max, "duration": duration})

The queue will start at most max tasks in any given duration seconds. This is useful when submitting jobs to rate-limited APIs. For example, if your API only accepts 100 requests per minute, set a max of 100 and a duration of 60.

First comment - can we make it milliseconds?

I switched the type to float--that way it's consistent with other Python duration APIs like sleep or DBOS.sleep that expect a time in seconds but allow subsecond precision.
