Throttle requestsv3.12+
Allows requests that exceed the rate limit threshold to be delayed and retried, rather than immediately rejected with a 429 status code.
This example configures the plugin to wait 30 seconds between retries, limits the queue to five requests, and retries a maximum of 3 times.
