[b]"How does sleep with backoff_factor work in Python requests?"[/b] or [b]"Is sleep with backoff_factor the best

sleep with backoff_factor is basically "learn from your mistakes."

Fail once? Wait a bit.
Fail again? Wait longer.

It’s like a polite way to say, "Hey server, I’ll back off until you’re ready."

If you’re using `aiohttp` for async, check out `backoff` lib—it works there too.

Also, don’t forget logging. If your backoff is too aggressive, you’ll waste time waiting for no reason.
