Hey! I’ve found that a wait time backoff_factor of 0.7 works well for most APIs. But if the server is under heavy load, I bump it up to 1.2 or 1.5.
One thing I’d recommend is testing different values in a staging environment. It’s the best way to find the sweet spot for your specific use case.
Also, don’t forget to monitor your retries. Tools like Prometheus or Grafana can help you visualize how your wait time backoff_factor is performing.
