This all works as intended. ConnMan will run autoconnect internally, and
if a service fails to connect it is excluded the next time autoconnect
is run. Internally from ConnMan's perspective, what would be the use of
retrying a service if it is already known to fail?
That the service is being excluded from autoconnect is a temporary
setting and will be cleared once the service is connected successfully
or the service disappears and reappears again. As autoconnect is not
reconnecting a failed service, it means that an outside action needs to
call Connect() via D-Bus. The rationale here is that at this point the
user may have corrected something or knows otherwise that a connection
will now succeed. ConnMan will retry to connect the service via its
autoconnect mechanism if the service has been removed by wpa_supplicant
and re-detected later on; as said the failure state has thereby been
forgotten. So yes, ConnMan will retry every now and then even when only
relying on its autoconnect mechanism.

Correct.
