Hey Alex! I’ve been in the same boat. I found that a wait time backoff_factor of 1.0 works pretty well for most cases. It’s like the Goldilocks zone—not too aggressive, not too slow.
If you’re dealing with a server that’s super inconsistent, you might wanna try something like exponential backoff with jitter. AWS has a great blog post on this, and it’s saved me a ton of headaches.
Also, tools like `retrying` or `tenacity` in Python can help automate this stuff. They let you tweak the wait time backoff_factor dynamically based on response times. Worth checking out!
