To address random failures like this one in #12865. Also increase the time tolerance to reduce the frequency of flaky failures.

Alternatively, we can simply delete these tests. They rely heavily on the system timer and sleep implementations being reliable and decently accurate, and it appears this is often not the case :(

I've tested that this does in fact rerun flaky failures by inserting some random.random() based buggy sleep behaviour and observing R in the pytest output FWIW.

Merging as these are my own tests and the change is low risk (aiming to reduce the possibility of flaky failures, actually!)
