The comment that was previously there is wrong: we don't want to reset the backoff here. If we're in the case where we want to back off, i.e. the application indicates that it wants to keep trying to connect, and we keep failing to connect, the state transition sequence looks like this:
The previous code resets the backoff timeout in step 3 of that sequence, which is exactly what we don't want to happen. The backoff timeout should only be reset when transitioning to READY, and that is handled already on line 490.
