// This implements logic for stopping requests if the server starts to return
// too many errors.  If we get MAX_ERRORS errors in ERROR_PERIOD minutes, we
// back off for TIMEOUT_INCREMENT minutes.  If we get another error
// immediately after we restart, we double the timeout and add
// TIMEOUT_INCREMENT minutes, etc.
//

// as an error.
