 These Promise-related utilities boast 100% test coverage, ensuring robust reliability.
 The package, free of external dependencies, offers essential functions such as:
 
-- `repeat`: Executes an operation repeatedly, very useful to collect all results through pagination.
-- `withRetry`: Retries an operation until a specified condition is met.
-- `withConcurrency`: Executes multiple operations with specified level of concurrency, and abort remaining operations when an error happens.
-- `inParallel`: Executes multiple operations with specified level of concurrency, all operations are guaranteed to be executed regardless of any possible error.
+- `repeat`: Executes an operation repeatedly; useful for collecting paged results.
+- `withRetry`: Retries an operation with configurable backoff and retry predicate.
+- `withConcurrency`: Runs jobs in parallel with a concurrency limit and aborts remaining jobs on the first error.
+- `inParallel`: Runs jobs in parallel with a concurrency limit and returns all results and errors (does not abort on any error by default).
 - `delayedResolve`: Creates a Promise that resolves after a specified delay.
 - `delayedReject`: Creates a Promise that rejects after a specified delay.
-- `timeoutResolve`: Applies a timeout to a Promise and resolves with a specified result if the timeout occurs.
-- `timeoutReject`: Applies a timeout to a Promise and rejects with a specified error/reason if the timeout occurs.
-- `promiseState`: Retrieves the state of a Promise.
-- `synchronized`: Provides mutual exclusion for concurrent operations using a lock mechanism, similar to `synchronized` in Java.
+- `cancellableDelayedResolve`: Like `delayedResolve` but returns `{ stop(), promise }` to allow cancelling before the timer fires.
+- `cancellableDelayedReject`: Like `delayedReject` but returns `{ stop(), promise }` to allow cancelling before the timer fires.
+- `timeoutResolve`: Applies a timeout to a Promise and resolves with a fallback value if the timeout occurs.
+- `timeoutReject`: Applies a timeout to a Promise and rejects with a fallback reason if the timeout occurs.
+- `promiseState`: Retrieves the state of a Promise (Pending/Fulfilled/Rejected).
+- `synchronized` / `synchronised`: Provides mutual exclusion (lock) semantics for async operations.
+- `runPeriodically`: Runs an operation periodically with configurable intervals and stopping conditions.

 #### Methods
 
+##### cancellableDelayedReject
+
+▸ `Static` **cancellableDelayedReject**\<`T`, `R`\>(`ms`, `reason`): `Object`
+
+Creates a cancellable timer that will reject after a specified number of milliseconds.
+
+The returned object contains:
+- `stop()` to cancel the scheduled rejection (if called before the timer fires). Calling
+  `stop()` prevents the promise from being settled by this timer.
+- `promise` which will reject with the supplied `reason` (or the value returned by the
+  `reason` function) after `ms` milliseconds unless `stop()` is called first.
+
+If the `reason` is a PromiseLike that rejects, its rejection value will be used as the rejection reason.

+##### cancellableDelayedResolve

+
+Creates a cancellable timer that will resolve after a specified number of milliseconds.
+
+The returned object contains:
+- `stop()` to cancel the scheduled resolution (if called before the timer fires). Calling
+  `stop()` prevents the promise from being settled by this timer.
+- `promise` which will resolve with the supplied `result` (or the value returned by the
+  `result` function) after `ms` milliseconds unless `stop()` is called first.
+
+Note: If the `result` is a function that returns a Promise, the returned `promise` will
+resolve with that Promise's resolution (i.e. it behaves like resolving with a PromiseLike).

 ##### delayedReject
 
 ▸ `Static` **delayedReject**\<`T`, `R`\>(`ms`, `reason`): `Promise`\<`T`\>
 
 Creates a Promise that rejects after a specified number of milliseconds.
 
+The `reason` argument may be:
+- a value to reject with,
+- a PromiseLike whose rejection will be adopted by the returned Promise, or
+- a function which is invoked when the timer fires and may return a value or a PromiseLike.
+
+If `reason` is a function, it is called when the timer elapses; if it returns a Promise,
+the returned Promise will reject with that Promise's rejection reason (or reject with the
+returned value if it resolves).

+##### runPeriodically
+
+▸ `Static` **runPeriodically**\<`T`\>(`operation`, `interval`, `options?`): `Object`
+
+Runs an operation periodically with configurable intervals and stopping conditions.
+
+- `interval` may be a single number (ms), an array of numbers, or a function
+  that receives the iteration number (starting at 1) and returns the next
+  interval in milliseconds or `undefined` to stop.
+- If the interval array runs out of elements or the function returns `undefined`
+  (or a negative value), no further invocations will be scheduled.
+
+Options:
+- `maxExecutions` stop after N runs (inclusive).
+- `maxDurationMs` stop after elapsed ms since the first scheduled start.
+- `schedule` controls how the interval is measured:
+  - `'delayAfterEnd'`: wait the interval after the previous operation completes
+    before scheduling the next one (equivalent to a fixed delay between ends).
+  - `'delayBetweenStarts'`: keep start times on a regular schedule (interval measured
+    between the starts of successive operations).
+  The default schedule is `'delayBetweenStarts'`.
+
+Returns an object with `stop()` to cancel further executions and `done` which
+resolves when the periodic runner stops. If the provided `operation` throws or
+rejects, the `done` promise will reject with that error so callers can handle it.
+
+Note: The first invocation of `operation` is scheduled after the first interval
+elapses (i.e. this function does NOT call `operation` immediately). If you need
+an immediate run, invoke `operation(1)` yourself before calling `runPeriodically`.
