Retrying errors

You should immediately retry a request if you receive a response with a 408, 429, 500, or 503 HTTP status code. If you want to retry multiple times, we recommend that you implement an exponential backoff approach up to a defined limit, and then log the error and proceed with a manual follow-up and investigation. For example, you can time your retries in the following time spacing: 1s, 2s, 4s, 10s, and 30s. The actual backoff times and limit will depend on your business processes.
