Hello,
If you are going to include automatic retry code, please do make sure that
you use an exponential backoff in case you are accidentally retrying
something that is never going to succeed. Even for a call that might
eventually succeed, constantly hitting the server when there are server
issues causing it to fail is counterproductive.
Thanks!
