How can I implement a hybrid retry strategy combining fixed delays and exponential backoff for HTTP 429 errors

Question

Can you tell me how to implement a hybrid retry strategy that combines fixed delays and exponential backoff for HTTP 429 errors?

Answer 1

In order to implement a hybrid retry strategy combining fixed delays and exponential backoff for HTTP 429 errors, here is the code snippet in Python you can refer:

The above code combines a fixed delay (Retry-After or default) with exponential backoff (backoff_factor ** retries) for robust handling of 429 errors.

Hence, by referring to the above code, you can implement a hybrid retry strategy combining fixed delays and exponential backoff for HTTP 429 errors
