What

A new constant defines a schedule of delays in milliseconds: 500, 1500, 4000, 15000, and 60000. This looks like a backoff schedule used to space out repeated attempts, such as retrying a request or reconnecting.

Why

Having this as a named, standalone schedule suggests some retry or reconnection flow now waits progressively longer between attempts rather than retrying at a fixed or unspecified interval.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say which request or reconnection flow uses this schedule.
