Partially Verified65% confidenceConceptExact time
Exponential backoff means that each retry increases the wait time by a multiple (such as 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s); jitter is adding a random amount to the calculated wait time to prevent a large number of clients from retrying simultaneously at the same moment due to using the same backoff curve, which would create a new traffic pulse; common approaches include 'full jitter' and 'equal jitter.'

UnverifiedTo avoid a thundering herd effect caused by multiple clients retrying in sync, backoff is typically combined with random jitter.80% similarVerifiedThe core idea of exponential backoff is that the wait time between retries grows exponentially, with random jitter added to avoid the thundering herd effect.78% similarUnverifiedRetry logic should follow exponential backoff plus jitter: wait time = min(max wait, base wait × 2^attempt count) + jitter.73% similarUnverified指数退避重试机制在遭遇API限流时按2的幂次方逐步延长等待时间后自动重试71% similar
