Exponential backoffvsRate limits (RPM, TPM)

Exponential backoff

you retry the failed call, wait twice as long, retry again, and add a little randomness so your whole fleet does not retry in lockstep.

The standard retry strategy: on failure, wait, then retry with doubling delays plus jitter. Combined with a retry budget it handles rate limits and transient errors. You have written this before; it applies unchanged.
