Job Queue: Negative Timeout Value Causes Error in logs

[jgambarios]

Task

The application encountered an error with the message java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: timeout value is negative. This error occurs because the code attempts to use a negative value for a timeout, which is not allowed.

The problem is due an overflow issue in the exponential backoff calculation, where the value became too large to handle, causing it to wrap around to a negative number.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the job queue manager for a long period of time .
2. Observe the error in the logs.
