How Does the wait time backoff_factor Impact Retry Strategies in API Calls?

Wait time backoff_factor is such a subtle but powerful setting. I’ve been using it with a combination of exponential backoff and jitter, and it’s been a game-changer for handling rate limits.

For anyone new to this, I’d recommend starting with a backoff_factor of 0.5 and adjusting from there. Tools like Fiddler or Charles Proxy can help you monitor how your retries are behaving in real-time.
