Is your feature request related to a problem?

Version 9 of webdriverio changed the HTTP request error handling in a way, that for many errors, no more retrying was done. I already reported this in #13553 and it's already fixed. But rarely, I still see ECONNREFUSED errors. I assume that his errors occur while the test machine is under heavy load and sometimes it is not able to recover fast enough so that even with retrying, the request finally fails.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Currently, the requests are retried immediately after the error occurs. This produces even more load, so the machine is sometimes not able to recover in time.

I suggest we add a wait time to give the machine time to recover. It could start really small afer the first few times and increase with each retry. That way, we shouldn't lose time for errors that resolve after a short time but also allow for recovery from longer periods of overload.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

No response

Additional context

This was logged when retrying didn't fix the error. As we can see, all the requests were done within about 500 ms.
