π€¨ Rationale
https://dev.azure.com/ni/DevCentral/_workitems/edit/2523281
The tag plugin is likely to get throttled when making a lot of history requests.
π©βπ» Implementation
There's a few ways to approach this, but retrying failed requests is the easiest to implement, works even if a user has multiple dashboards open, and can be reused across all our plugins.
The strategy I've applied is to retry a maximum of 3 times with an exponential backoff (1, 2, 4 seconds). The actual delay for each request will be randomized to introduce jitter.
π§ͺ Testing
Unfortunately, the mild amount of refactoring from this change did force us to have to rewrite all the tests a bit. I also added two new tests for the retry behavior.
