 ## When Not To Use It
 
 - If you are not using TypeScript 3.8 (or greater), then you will not be able to use this rule, as type-only imports are not allowed.
+- Certain libraries use the non-inlined imports to infer information about the variables. For example, for dependency injection.  
+  type-only imports cannot be used with these libraries. See [#2559](https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/issues/2559#issuecomment-692780580)
 - If you specifically want to use both import kinds for stylistic reasons, you can disable this rule.
