Overview

Corrected the comment for retryWithBackoffOnPayloadStatus function to match the actual method name.

The comment previously referred to the function as "retryWithBackoff" which was inconsistent with the actual function name "retryWithBackoffOnPayloadStatus". This change ensures documentation accuracy and code clarity.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes an inconsistency in a comment, changing retryWithBackoff to retryWithBackoffOnPayloadStatus to match the function name. This improves documentation accuracy. I've also suggested a small enhancement to the same comment block to clarify the behavior of the maxRetries parameter, which will further improve the code's clarity.

Since you're updating this comment, this is a good opportunity to also clarify the behavior of the maxRetries parameter. The term 'retries' can be ambiguous (e.g., total attempts vs. attempts after the first). Explicitly stating that it represents the total number of attempts improves clarity and prevents potential misuse.
