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

Wait time backoff_factor is such a subtle but important part of retry strategies. I’ve been using it with a combination of exponential backoff and jitter, and it’s been a lifesaver for handling rate limits.

If you’re looking for a tool to test different values, I’d recommend using Postman or Insomnia. They make it easy to tweak the wait time backoff_factor and see how it affects your retries in real-time.
