Hi Chad,
Some of the jobs I have running in the background are jobs that pull
data from various 3rd party web services. Many of those web services
are a throttle limit.  So what I do now is grab the job from the
queue, then see what kind of job it is and  if check if I have enough
hits left before I get throttled. If I have enough hits left then I
process the job, otherwise I have to put the job back on the queue.
