What is the purpose of this PR
Why the test fails
When the main test thread executes the assertion given at Line 104, it is checking the value of a global variable recoveryCounter. This variable value is supposed to be set by another thread. However, due to some noise, sometimes that thread cannot set the value of recoveryCounter before the other thread checks the value. As a result, the flaky test failure occurs.
Fix
We increase the existing waiting time in the test before the assertion check.
