If you use Swagger generated REST proxies then you have probably come across the pretty new Microsoft.Rest namespace and namely the abstract class ServiceClient. I noticed a strange behavior when using clients that subclass this base class. The default behavior for this class is to retry when a 500 status code is returned.
I can not understand the reason for this being Opt out, its obvious a feature like this should be Opt in. So keep in mind when using this class you must always call SetRetryPolicy to disable the retry strategy.

var service = new MyService(uri, credentials);
service.SetRetryPolicy(new RetryPolicy(new HttpStatusCodeErrorDetectionStrategy(), 0));
