Does a Retrieve Job Have a Status of Pending?

If you initiate several concurrent retrieve operations for a single org, Metadata API automatically puts some of those jobs in a queue, if that becomes necessary for service protection. If a retrieve job has a status of Pending, it’s in the queue. When one of the active retrieve jobs completes, Metadata API takes a pending job from the queue and activates it. If a retrieve job has a status of InProgress, it’s active. The process repeats until the job queue is cleared.
