Describe the problem/error/question

Hi, I created this exponential backoff mechanism for Google APIs and would like to see if anyone has created something similar or a different approach to handling retries for APIs.

What is the error message (if any)?

No errors, just looking to optimize my approach.

You can make it a bit simpler with {{ $runIndex }} :slight_smile:
But yeah this stuff is quite annoying to deal with.
