Description

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.

Research direction

Start by locating the queue implementation and existing handling for interval and intervalCap, then review the related tests. Clarify how runtime changes should behave while tasks are queued or running; done means both settings can be changed at runtime with tests covering the expected behavior.
