UnverifiedThe latency of a single request can only reflect the system's performance under idle conditions and cannot capture the scale effects under concurrent load.73% similarUnverifiedFull jitter sacrifices retry latency for individual clients, but significantly reduces the temporal synchronization among the client population, most effectively smoothing out traffic spikes.70% similarUnverifiedPolling at a fixed interval has two problems: when there are many tasks it causes a large number of invalid requests that consume quota and may even trigger rate limiting; when tasks take a long time it may lengthen the total waiting time68% similar
