fixes #834, but doesn't fully replace the concept of error_timeout (as the issue suggests).
Instead, the user still provides
error_timeout, and the feature is just to provide a boolean that allows us to creep towards it. Once we reach it, we go back to the original behaviour.I also allow the user to specify the starting point, and the exponential factors. Tbh I doubt people would change those values that often, but wanted to keep this option available since this is an open source library
