Exponential backoff is suitable for handling transient errors, but it is of limited effect against rate-limiting (429) errors and may instead prolong request occupancy time.
Exponential backoff means the nth retry waits base × 2ⁿ plus random milliseconds, and suits rate limiting (429) and some transient network errors.
