A6 update: change specification of backoff behavior to make sense #452

Closed markdroth closed 2 months ago

See discussion in https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/issues/7514.

We need to notify grpc-io about this change, and update the user guide. At least in one place it says "The actual initial backoff delay is a random time period within initialBackoff value configured above (between 0-100ms)."

Good catch. I've sent https://github.com/grpc/grpc.io/pull/1356 to update the wording in the retry user guide.

I don't feel like we really need a post to grpc-io about this, but I can do one if you feel strongly.
