Best Practices for Setting wait time backoff_factor: How Do You Optimize It?

9 Replies, 1234 Views

Alex, I’ve been using a wait time backoff_factor of 1.0 with some jitter added in. It’s been working great for me, especially with external APIs.

One thing to consider is the type of errors you’re getting. If it’s mostly 429s, you might wanna increase the wait time backoff_factor. But if it’s 500s, you might wanna keep it lower.

Also, check out the `retry` library in Python. It’s super easy to use and lets you customize the wait time backoff_factor based on different conditions.
