By default, the key which identifies the job is simply the class name. If you'd like
to override that to be more granular, you can do that in the identifier class method
by returning a string. Example:
by returning a string. For example, if you want the job to be limit to once a day per
account, do something like the following:

class MyThrottledJob < Resque::ThrottledJob
throttle :can_run_every => 24.hours

def self.identifier(*args)
some_id = *args
thing = MyClass.find_by_id(some_id)
"some_id:#{thing.thing_id}"
account_id = *args
"account_id:#{account_id}"
end

#rest of your class here
end

The *args passed to identifier are the same arguments that are passed to perform.

When a job is throttled, it will raise a ThrottledError and the job will not be enqueued.
