I feel like the wait time backoff_factor is one of those things you don’t appreciate until you’ve messed it up. I once set it too low and got my IP banned for a day—lesson learned!
Now I always start with a conservative value and adjust based on the API’s response headers. Tools like Insomnia or Hoppscotch are great for testing different backoff_factor values before committing to them.
