Clarify throttling messages to specify actual wait time #1665

Description

@waldekmastykarz

Currently, when a throttling event occurs, the message shown is:

retry #1 in 10.0s (retry-after: 42s), 429, Too Many Requests

It's unclear to users whether the script will wait 10 seconds or 42 seconds due to the "retry-after" value. This ambiguity can cause confusion regarding the actual delay between retries.

Suggestion:

  • Update the throttling message to clearly indicate which value is being used for the wait before the next retry (e.g., "Waiting 42s before retry Bump word-wrap from 1.2.3 to 1.2.5 #1 as instructed by retry-after header").
  • Consider removing or explaining the other value if it's not used for the actual wait, or provide a clear explanation of both values if they are relevant.

Clearer messaging will help users better understand the script's behavior during throttling situations.
