Essentially, the backoff has an interval time.Duration; the *nth* call to backoff will return an a time.Duration that is *2 n *interval*. If jitter is enabled (which is the default behaviour), the duration is a random value between 0 and *2 n * interval*. The backoff is configured with a maximum duration that will not be exceeded; e.g., by default, the longest duration returned is backoff.DefaultMaxDuration.
