My current code doesn't give up when it hits the maximum delay, it just keeps
that delay for the rest of the retries and it stops retrying when it reaches
the max amount of given retries.

What would you say is a reasonable default maximum between-retries delay? Ten
minutes? One hour?

Based on your input, I'll add a --retry-delay option that allows you to set
this maximum delay.
