Add backoff for post-handshake reconnects. - #587
Merged
Conversation
Prior to this change, the client would immediately attempt to reconnect to the server without any backoff when it encountered errors after the initial authentication handshake. This resulted in excessive reconnect attempts. This commit prevents the backoff-retry logic from resetting its timer unless the connection has been stable for more than 2 minutes, which is double the configured max backoff interval (excluding jitter).
