RetryHandler#retryRequest might fail with IllegalArgumentException: timeout value is negative #2038
Description
When using the Microsoft Graph API which then calls com.microsoft.kiota.http.middleware.RetryHandler.retryRequest (see stack trace below), it seems to trigger retryRequest with a negative retryInterval value. It seems that getRetryAfter is returning a negative value at https://github.com/microsoft/kiota-java/blob/main/components/http/okHttp/src/main/java/com/microsoft/kiota/http/middleware/RetryHandler.java#L112.
Please see stack trace:
