# Function: sleepWithJitter()

```ts
function sleepWithJitter(ms: number, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<void>;
```

Defined in: [lib/utils/retry.ts:47](https://github.com/NHTIO/ADK/blob/v1.20260605.0/src/lib/utils/retry.ts#L47)

Abort-aware jittered sleep used for retry backoff.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type          | Description                                          |
| --------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `ms`      | `number`      | Base delay in ms; jittered by ±10%.                  |
| `signal?` | `AbortSignal` | Optional abort signal that short-circuits the sleep. |

## Returns

`Promise`<`void`>

## Remarks

Resolves (never rejects) the instant `signal` aborts, so an aborted caller does not stay parked
in a backoff delay — the caller's retry loop re-checks abort state immediately after and bails.
The timer and the abort listener are both torn down on whichever fires first, so nothing leaks.
