Hello Charles, Could you please clarify why 100 seconds are too excessive? I would like to use this information for discussion with engineering team as well.
Currently, the exponential backoff policy is encouraged to be used in many places of AdWords API, so 100 seconds is what we can expect in many situations. But if you have any use cases where that waiting time is too long, then I can pass that information to the engineering team. Thanks in advance.
