Description

When creating a BackOff instance via RetryPolicy, we get validation for the individual attributes. However, when creating the BackOff implementation manually, there's no such validation.

This makes the use of the implementation a bit cumbersome as we have to replicate the validation rules the builder offers.

Research direction

Start by reading RetryPolicy and the FixedBackOff and ExponentialBackOff implementations to compare builder validation with manual construction. Identify the existing validation rules and related tests, then confirm that manually created instances enforce the same rules and that the relevant tests pass.
