Hey! I’ve been using a wait time backoff_factor of 1.2 for a while now, and it’s been pretty solid. I also factor in the server’s response time—if it’s slow, I increase the backoff.
One thing I’d recommend is using a library like `backoff` (for Python). It lets you set custom rules for the wait time backoff_factor based on response codes or latency. Super handy!
Also, if you’re dealing with external APIs, check their docs. Some providers actually recommend specific backoff strategies.
