Common Failure Types

Temporary (Auto-Retry):

• Network timeouts

• Temporary API issues

• Server maintenance

• Connection drops

Permanent (Manual Fix Needed):

• Expired credentials → Reconnect

• Content policy violation → Edit content

• File too large → Compress

• Invalid media → Replace file

Why Recovery Matters

Failures are inevitable. Smart retry means temporary glitches resolve automatically. Permanent issues get clear guidance. No posts lost, no manual monitoring required.
