 ### Other Changes
 
+- For IMDS requests in `ManagedIdentityCredential`, the retry backoff factor was reduced from 2 to 0.8 in order to avoid excessive retry delays and improve responsiveness. Users can customize this setting with the `retry_backoff_factor` parameter: `ManagedIdentityCredential(retry_backoff_factor=2)`.
