Description
The initial wait period for the default retryer is the provided period multiplied by a factor of 1.5. I believe this is a bug since I would expect that the provided value would be the initial value and multiplication would be done only on following retries. Here is a PR fixing the issue https://github.com/OpenFeign/feign/pull/1726/files

Research direction
Start by reviewing the default retryer implementation and the linked pull request, which contains the proposed fix. Confirm that the provided period is used for the initial wait and that multiplication applies only to later retries; the issue is done when the retry behavior matches that expectation and its tests pass.
