  - getNextBackOffMillis
```
long getNextBackOffMillis()
                   throws java.io.IOException
```
    Deprecated.
    Gets the number of milliseconds to wait before retrying an HTTP request. If STOP is returned, no retries should be made. This method should be used as follows:
    long backoffTime = backoffPolicy.getNextBackoffMs(); if (backoffTime == BackoffPolicy.STOP) { // Stop retrying. } else { // Retry after backoffTime. }
    Returns:
    
    the number of milliseconds to wait when backing off requests, or STOP if no more retries should be made
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
