Add exponential backoff for 429 errors.

When we encounter a 429, we retry with a different set of retries and
timeout. This will theoretically reduce client replication overload.
When 429s have stopped, it's possible that a 500 error could occur.
Then the retry mechanism should go back to the original way for
backwards compatibility.
