One other question, with a polling cycle of 1 minute, could I do 4 retries
with 10 second timeouts, or do you double the timeout between retries?
When does the next polling cycle timer start at the end of the last retry?
The timeout is static; if you specify a 10 second timeout, the timeout is consistently 10 seconds.
The polling cycle timer starts at the beginning of a poll. For example, 4 attempts with 10 second timeouts will take 40 seconds to fully time out. With a poll interval of 1 minute, the next poll would start 20 seconds after the final request timed out.
If the polling cycle itself takes longer than the poll interval, the next polling cycle does not start until the current one ends. If you specified 8 attempts with 10 second timeouts, it will take 1 minute 20 seconds for the poll cycle to fully time out. With a 1 minute poll interval, the next poll would start immediately after the final request times out (ie in 0 seconds).
