Duration Before Auto-Retry Errors Attempt Step Again

On “AUTO-RETRY ERRORS” how long before it will retry a certain step?

2

Pipedream will retry the workflow from that failed step, re-rerunning the step up to 8 times over a 10 hour span with an exponential backoff strategy.

3

For example, an ERROR happened at 1:00pm, when will it be retried?

I am checking with the team

You’ll see a resume_ts property under the $attempt step export for any failed steps (see the example screenshot in the docs). That shows when the next retry will happen (after any of the 7 retries)

6

You should also be able to load the rerun_url if you’d like to retry it manually at any time.

Thank you so much

the first retry is after 3 minutes

just FYI that that may not always be the case. Generally we do use exponential backoff (e.g. retry after 3, 9, etc. minutes) but there will be some jitter in the actual delays

but resume_ts should always accurately reflect the next run
