The WithBackoff function returns a wrapped error with the message "can't retry" both for errors marked as non-retryable by IsRetryable as well as when the context is done. The latter might happen when a positive settings.Timeout is specified, as this results in a wrapped context with a timeout.
This behavior resulted in me debugging the IsRetryable function, when just the Timeout has exceeded. To save others from having this experience, I have adapted the messages.
