What problem are you trying to solve?

Currently there is no upper limit on the backoff, meaning it grows exponentially if you want many retries which is not something you might want.

Describe the feature

So I would add a new optional parameter to the retry object called backoffLimit that would be a number of milliseconds to wait maximum between retries. This would basically do a Math.min between the default calculated backoff value and this parameter value. This would allow a user to put a limit of say 10 and have the following behaviour:
