This repo does not intend to implement retry strategies as there are many examples of these elsewhere. Instead you can augment the decorator (decorate the decorator). I recommend the one mentioned here https://github.com/tomasbasham/ratelimit#usage. I have used this in the past and it worked well for me. Let me know if it causes you issues
