Try a sample question
Your application hits OpenAI's rate limit and receives a 429 error. Which retry strategy should you implement to avoid making the problem worse?
A.Fixed 30-second delay between every retry regardless of attempt number
B.Immediate retry in a tight loop until the request succeeds
C.Exponential backoff with jitter — wait 1s, then 2s, then 4s, adding random jitter at each step
D.Switch to a different API key owned by the same account
