is there a way to do exponential backoff or something similar for retries?

Yes, you can add a list of seconds to retry… let me find an example

<https://docs.prefect.io/2.10.18/concepts/tasks/#custom-retry-behavior>

```from prefect import task
from prefect.tasks import exponential_backoff

@task(retries=3, retry_delay_seconds=exponential_backoff(backoff_factor=10))
def some_task_with_exponential_backoff_retries():
   ...```
