Honestly, the wait time backoff_factor is one of those things you gotta experiment with.
I’ve had success with a hybrid approach: start small (like 0.5) and double it on each retry. Some APIs hate rapid retries, so this smooths things out.
Also, check out the API docs—some providers recommend specific backoff values. AWS, for example, has pretty clear guidelines.
