Yeah, the wait time backoff_factor is lowkey one of the most important settings for API retries. I’ve seen so many devs just ignore it and then wonder why their app gets rate-limited.
For anyone struggling, I’d recommend starting with a backoff_factor of 1 and adjusting based on the API’s rate limits. Tools like Postman can help you test different values before implementing them in your code.
