Implement Robust Retry Mechanism for Unreliable API Endpoints

decorators error handling requests reliability
Prompt
Design a flexible Python decorator that automatically implements exponential backoff and retry logic for API calls with configurable parameters. The decorator should handle different HTTP status codes, allow custom retry strategies, and include comprehensive logging. Demonstrate how it would work with a real-world example using requests library, with specific handling for network errors, timeout exceptions, and rate limit responses.
