Full definition of retry
Retries make automations resilient to transient failures — a brief network outage, a third-party rate limit, a momentary 5xx error. In Tiny Command, HTTP steps retry automatically, and you can set your own retry count and delay. Permanent failures (4xx errors like 401, 403, 404) are rarely worth retrying because re-attempting won't fix the root cause.
