Includes the following arguments related to the wait time between request retries if a "Too Many Requests" error is received from the API (see HttpClient()$retry() for more details):

  • pause_base, pause_cap, and pause_min: basis, maximum, and minimum for calculating wait time for retry

  • times: the maximum number of times to retry
