------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Under exponential backoff, download schedules contain the maximum time we
 will wait, even if the random amount is larger.

 But in most cases, the random amount is much smaller than the maximum, so
 we could replace the item with the actual maximum, or delete it from the
 schedule altogether. (On the public network, the maximum is 4x the last
 entry, on test networks, it's 3x.)

 I'll make these changes based on the schedules in #23347.
