Hey folks!
So I’ve been tinkering with API rate limits and retries, and the wait time backoff_factor keeps coming up. Like, how do you even *decide* what value to use? Defaults are cool, but sometimes they feel too aggressive or too slow.
Does tweaking the wait time backoff_factor actually help with success rates, or am I just overthinking it?
Also, anyone got tips for balancing speed vs. reliability? Like, do you go big on the backoff_factor or keep it subtle?
(And yeah, I’ve totally messed this up before—ended up with like 10-second waits for no reason lol.)
Would love to hear how y’all handle it!
