It looks like there plugin-retry of octokit is using
const retryAfter = Math.pow((options.request.retryCount || 0) + 1, 2);
as value for retry.

Managed to override the retryAfterBaseValue to have a different delay

Could you explain your use case? When would you want a fixed retry delay instead of exponential delay?

exponential is fine but I would like to have a starting point bigger than the default (1000)
for example I want to retry a call after 1min / 2min / 4min especially if you know that a cluster can take time to go up.

This feature would be useful. Is it planned to be merged?
