Indicating that a backoff has expired isn't enough information to diagnose what's causing the backoff in the first place, so rather than creating a new error object, this change just passes the last error along.

Isn't there like a convention to combine/chain errors? Something like this:

            const error = new Error('Profiler agent export back-off period expired')
            error.reason = err
            reject(error)

Or even this:

reject(new Error('Profiler agent export back-off period expired: ' + err.message))
// Profiler agent export back-off period expired: HTTP Error 500

Though that might ruin the cardinality or error messages and undermine the problem you're trying to solve...

There's error.cause, but I'm not sure it's supported across our full version range.

If we don't use the custom syntax:

new Error('parent', { cause: new Error('child') })

But instead build it manually:

const parent = new Error('parent')
const child = new Error('child')
parent.cause = child

Then the Node.js version being used only matters if we care how console.log outputs the error - which I guess we don't. I assume we just need to make sure that the log.error function knows to also take into account any linked cause error.

This is something we should make sure regardless of this PR as other libraries might make use of the cause property and we need to properly capture that information.

Gotcha: There is a slight difference between how console.log outputs an error created with the two approaches listed above. If using the options object with the cause property that's only supported in Node.js 16.9+, then the stack trace outputted looks like this:

Error: parent
    at REPL53:1:5
    at ContextifyScript.runInThisContext (node:vm:136:12)
    ... 7 lines matching cause stack trace ...
    at [_line] [as _line] (node:internal/readline/interface:887:18) {
  [cause]: Error: child
      at REPL53:1:34
      at ContextifyScript.runInThisContext (node:vm:136:12)
      at REPLServer.defaultEval (node:repl:598:22)
      at bound (node:domain:432:15)
      at REPLServer.runBound [as eval] (node:domain:443:12)
      at REPLServer.onLine (node:repl:927:10)
      at REPLServer.emit (node:events:532:35)
      at REPLServer.emit (node:domain:488:12)
      at [_onLine] [as _onLine] (node:internal/readline/interface:416:12)
      at [_line] [as _line] (node:internal/readline/interface:887:18)
}

If we just naively add a cause property on an error object after creation-time, the console.log output looks like this:

Error: parent
    at REPL31:1:5
    at ContextifyScript.runInThisContext (node:vm:136:12)
    ... 7 lines matching cause stack trace ...
    at [_line] [as _line] (node:internal/readline/interface:887:18) {
  cause: Error: child
      at REPL32:1:5
      at ContextifyScript.runInThisContext (node:vm:136:12)
      at REPLServer.defaultEval (node:repl:598:22)
      at bound (node:domain:432:15)
      at REPLServer.runBound [as eval] (node:domain:443:12)
      at REPLServer.onLine (node:repl:927:10)
      at REPLServer.emit (node:events:532:35)
      at REPLServer.emit (node:domain:488:12)
      at [_onLine] [as _onLine] (node:internal/readline/interface:416:12)
      at [_line] [as _line] (node:internal/readline/interface:887:18)
}

Notice the tiny difference between [cause] and cause. I'm not sure if that's important, but it means that there's a slight difference in the implementation.

If we sub-class our errors we could have it version detect and do super(message, options) where supported and do super(message); this.cause = options.cause where not supported.

I think it's moot in this case because I don't think the wrapper/parent error adds any value here.

Indicating that a backoff has expired isn't enough information to
diagnose what's causing the backoff in the first place, so rather than
creating a new error object, this change just passes the last error
along.
