You can store the time when the pointer lock was activated and then whenever you need to toggle it again you check if it was toggled/activated within the last 100 ms or so.

let pointerLockActivatedAt = null;

function inactivatePointerLock() {
    const now = performance.now()
    if (pointerLockActivatedAt != null && now - pointerLockActivatedAt < 100) {
        return
    }
    // do your thing
}
function activatePointerLock() {
    const now = performance.now()
    pointerLockActivatedAt = now
}
