That data does not make sense. The host appears to have been down for
around 23 hours. So the retrying should happened every 8 hours. However,
it seems to have calculated the next retry with an interval of 10 hours
and 40 minutes.

This may be a silly question, but you aren't sharing the hints data
between more than one host, are you?
