Description

What feature do you want to see added?

Currently we are using a very simple 5s polling. While this is simple, this also may cause DDOS if a lot of plugins start polling the server during an outage.

It'd be nice to make this a bit smarter and recognize "normal operations" from "errors" so that errors could use exponential backoff.

Research direction

Start by reading issue 86 and locating the implementation of the current 5-second polling behavior. Determine how normal operations are distinguished from errors, then define and test completion criteria for exponential backoff during outages without slowing normal polling.
