Yo Alex! Honestly, the wait time backoff_factor depends on your use case. If you’re hitting an API that’s rate-limited, I’d go with 1.5 or 2.0. It gives the server some breathing room.
But if it’s your own server, you can afford to be a bit more aggressive. I’d start with 0.5 and monitor the response times. If you see too many 429s, bump it up.
Also, don’t forget to log your retries! It’ll help you fine-tune the wait time backoff_factor over time.
