Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time
The cooldown mechanism is essentially a simplified version of exponential backoff, where standard exponential backoff doubles the wait time after each failed retry and adds random jitter to avoid the thundering herd effect.

VerifiedThe core idea of exponential backoff is that the wait time between retries grows exponentially, with random jitter added to avoid the thundering herd effect.79% similarUnverifiedThe Exponential Backoff mechanism means that the wait time grows exponentially after each failed request (e.g., 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds) to prevent avalanche-style calls from causing runaway costs.75% similarUnverifiedThe Exponential Backoff retry mechanism automatically waits and retries upon encountering API rate limiting, ensuring system robustness.73% similarUnverifiedThe correct response to a hard crash is immediate switchover; to rate limiting is switchover plus a cooldown timer; to too-slow response is timeout-triggered switchover; and to silent garbage is validate first, then retry, then switch.71% similarUnverified在调用付费API的脚本中应引入指数退避（Exponential Backoff）机制，每次请求失败后等待时间成指数级增长，以避免雪崩式调用导致费用失控70% similar
