and then run scope normally with scope launch and point a browser at it.

Initially this will show containers as expected, but after ~1m the "nothing to show" message appears. This then remains there but for a ~15s periods approximately every minute, when containers are shown.

The problem is as follows: The client has an http timeout set to 4s, and exponentially backs off on all errors, including timeouts, up to a max backoff of 1m. Since the app displays data from aggregating reports over a 15s window, any time the client backs off for longer than that window, results in no data being available.

Solution: we shouldn't be backing off on timeouts.
