+Number of request retries when network errors happens. Delays between retries counts with function `500 * Math.pow(2, retry) + Math.random() * 100`, where `retry` is attempt number (starts from 0).
 
 Option accepts `function` with `retry` and `error` arguments. Function must return delay in milliseconds (`0` return value cancels retry).
