• The wait time is min(((2^n)+random_number_milliseconds), maximum_backoff), with n incremented by 1 for each iteration (request).

• random_number_milliseconds is a random number of milliseconds less than or equal to 1000. This helps to avoid cases in which some situation synchronizes many clients are synchronized by some situation , and all retry at once, sending requests in synchronized waves. The random_number_milliseconds value is recalculated after each retry request.

• maximum_backoff is typically 32 or 64 seconds. The appropriate value depends on the use case.
