Conditional stale time

[srph]

I've done a bit of research, but couldn't see if anyone else has done this.

Is it alright to pass a conditional stale time to react-query?

My use-case is that I want to poll data if the response is { status: 'pending' }.

I'm just a bit concerned if this is a footgun, or if this is something I shouldn't be doing?

const [isPending, setIsPending] = useState(false)

const handleSuccess = (data: IbcStatusQueryData) => {
  setIsPending(data.status === 'pending')
}

return useQuery(queryKeys.getTransactionStatus({ id: transaction.id }), handleRequest, {
  onSuccess: handleSuccess,
  staleTime: isPending ? 30 * 1000 : Infinity
})

I'd like to avoid making the request if the value has anything else. It's unnecessary; in addition, this query will be used in a component inside a list.
