Exponential backoff

Title: Exponential backoff -

Exponential backoff -

to automatically schedule scenario reruns with increasing time delays. The scenario reruns trigger when a module in the scenario outputs:

  • RateLimitError
  • ConnectionError
  • ModuleTimeoutError

The time delays between the scenario reruns depend on whether are enabled or not:

Rerun numberIncomplete executions enabledIncomplete executions disabled
11 minute1 minute
210 minutes2 minutes
310 minutes5 minutes
430 minutes10 minutes
530 minutes1 hour
630 minutes3 hours
73 hours12 hours
83 hours24 hours

This means that when a module in your scenario outputs the ConnectionError because the third-party service is unavailable, Make schedules the rerunning of the scenario one minute after the error occurs.

If a module during the rerun outputs the ConnectionError again, Make schedules another rerun after 2 minutes and so on. If the 8th attempt fails, Make disables scheduling of the scenario.

Until Make disables scheduling the scenario, the scenario follows the run schedule in addition to the exponential backoff reruns (though there are ).

If you want Make to wait with scheduling the next scenario runs until the reruns finish, enable in scenario settings.

If you enable the option to store incomplete executions in the scenario settings, Make stores the scenario run in incomplete executions.

Make then schedules scenario reruns from the incomplete execution data. If all rerun attempts fail, Make keeps the scenario incomplete execution for you to resolve manually.
