Description

We bumped up the default retry (https://github.com/openfga/sdk-generator/blame/1cc4b1b2bc26739e031ae80c7c69da42d0bfb141/config/common/config.base.json#L87) from 5 to 15 last year

The default retry behaviour of 15 retries with exponential backoff is far too aggressive. This means the caller could be sat waiting many minutes for all the retries to complete.

Expectation

It's unexpected for the user for the SDK to be stuck hanging for a while as it retries - by default we should be retrying a few times and failing early.

A more sane default could be 3 retries before giving up
