Automated excerpt
The wrapper needs explicit failure boundaries. max_retries=0, # Keep retry ownership in this wrapper. delay = min(8. 0, 0. 5 * (2 ** attempt)) time. sleep(delay * (0. 75 + random. random() * 0. 5)) There are two details worth keeping. First, the SDK's internal retry policy is disabled so there is only one retry loop. Stacked retry layers make outage duration and request volume difficult to predict.
