You have to pass perform_in a time. perform_async gets pushed to the queue right away. Other than that they're the same. You'd call perform_in(10.minutes)

I want to update old sidekiq jobs with new time interval. How I can do this ? Is it possible through perform_in option. In addition I want to know clear difference between perform_in and perform_async.

Full documentation on the perform_in method is available at github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Scheduled-Jobs
atw over 6 years

Is there documentation for perform, perform_now and perform_later? I think there are self explanatory but how would each be handled by Sidekiq?
