It's right that the BackoffSupervisor doesn't work perfectly together with Cluster Sharding passivation at the moment. The workaround until we have better solution in place is: 1. Send Passivate with a custom stop message to the parent BackoffSupervisor which will pass it on. 2. When the actor receives the custom stop message it can complete it's final work and then it must *stop the parent* BackoffSupervisor, instead of stopping itself. That can be done by sending PoisonPill to parent.
