Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time
When an Agent request fails, many client libraries use exponential backoff retries (for example, waiting about 1 second the first time, then about 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and so on) with a cap.

VerifiedIt is recommended to implement an exponential backoff strategy to handle rate limits: wait 1 second after the first failure, 2 seconds after the second, 4 seconds after the third, and set a maximum retry count.76% similarUnverifiedCredential expiry time should be shorter than the longest expected task: if an Agent normally runs for at most 20 minutes, the credential should be set to expire in 30 minutes.73% similarUnverifiedAn exponential backoff reconnection strategy waits 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds in sequence after a disconnection before retrying, in order to prevent a large number of clients reconnecting simultaneously and causing a server avalanche.72% similarUnverifiedThe retry loop in the code attempts at most 4 times, with exponential backoff starting at 500 milliseconds, and it prioritizes obeying the Retry-After response header when the service provides one.72% similarUnverifiedWhen a timeout or 5xx error is encountered, after 2 consecutive occurrences the provider should be skipped for one minute, to avoid every request waiting the full timeout duration due to provider downtime.72% similar
