Description
Before we sent requests to check on the status of an automatic transcription every 5 seconds on repeat. We now do it with exponential backoff.
Notes
The function responsible for exponential backoff has been refactored out of exportFetcher.tsx to utils.ts. To get around the circular dependency of importing envStore into utils.ts we now require the user to import envStore along with the function and pass down the min/max values that way.
The timing of the backoff should probably be adjusted in the future. Most transcription would not have any significant updates when the expo backoff is still firing faster (when it's 2, 4, 8 seconds in).
