Exponential backoff for Google APIs

n8n Workflow: Exponential Backoff for Google APIs

Overview This n8n workflow implements an Exponential Backoff mechanism to handle retries when interacting with Google APIs. It ensures that failed API requests are retried with increasing delays, up to a specified maximum retry count. This approach helps mitigate transient errors (e.g., rate limits or temporary network issues) while maintaining workflow efficiency.

Key Features: - Exponential Backoff Logic: Dynamically increases wait time between retries based on the retry count. - Error Handling: Stops the workflow and raises an error after a specified number of retries. - Dynamic Waiting: Waits for a calculated duration before each retry. - Scalable Design: Modular nodes for easy debugging and customization.

Workflow Details

Nodes in the Workflow:

1. Trigger (When clicking "Test Workflow"): - Manually starts the workflow for testing.

2. Loop Over Items: - Iterates over multiple input items to process Google API requests row by row.
