Question: Exponential Backoff execution times

[jarenal]

Hi guys,

a question about how works the Exponential Backoff algorith...

If I use these settings:

raxConfig: {
  retryDelay: 3000, // Milliseconds
  backoffType: 'exponential',
  retry: 3
}

When will be executed the last try?

If I'm not wrong the first try will be executed 3 seconds after the original request, right?

• ORIGINAL REQUEST: 0 seconds
• FIRST TRY: After 3 seconds
• SECOND TRY: No idea
• THIRD TRY: No idea

How can I calculated when the second and third try will be executed?

Thanks a lot!

Maybe someone find this is useful...

17:11:23 First request...
17:11:25 Retry attempt 1
17:11:27 Retry attempt 2
17:11:30 Retry attempt 3
17:11:35 Retry attempt 4
17:11:44 Retry attempt 5
17:12:01 Retry attempt 6
17:12:34 Retry attempt 7
17:13:39 Retry attempt 8
17:15:48 Retry attempt 9
17:20:05 Retry attempt 10

FYI the parameter retryDelay has not effect when backoffType is exponential.
