def get_exponential_backoff_interval(
    factor: int,
    retries: int,
    maximum: int,
    full_jitter: boolean = False
) - > int

Calculate the exponential backoff wait time.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
factor	int	The base multiplier used to scale the initial wait time.
retries	int	The number of retry attempts already made, used as the exponent for the backoff calculation.
maximum	int	The upper bound limit for the wait time to prevent excessively long delays.
full_jitter	boolean = False	Whether to apply a random distribution to the wait time to prevent thundering herd problems.

Returns

Type	Description
int	The calculated wait time in seconds or milliseconds, capped by the maximum value and never less than zero.
