Exponential Backoff Retry Logic

Smart retry timing prevents API spam and respects rate limits

Failed posts retry intelligently: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, increasing delays. Prevents overwhelming APIs with rapid retries. Gives temporary issues time to resolve. Respects platform rate limits automatically.

How to Use

  1. 1Post fails due to network issue
  2. 2Show first retry scheduled: "30 seconds"
  3. 3Countdown display: 30, 29, 28...
  4. 4First retry fails (network still down)
  5. 5Show second retry: "1 minute"
  6. 6Countdown: 60, 59, 58...
  7. 7Second retry fails
  8. 8Show third retry: "2 minutes"
  9. 9Network recovers
  10. 10Third retry succeeds
  11. 11Post publishes successfully
  12. 12Show retry log with timing
  13. 13Compare to rapid retry (would spam API)

Key Features

  • Intelligent Delays - 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m progression
  • Exponential Growth - Each delay roughly doubles
  • API Friendly - Prevents request spam
  • Rate Limit Respect - Gives platforms breathing room
  • Countdown Display - Shows next retry time
  • Automatic Process - No user intervention
  • Maximum Attempts - Reasonable limit before giving up
  • Success Stops - No more retries after success
  • User Override - Can cancel or manual retry
  • Error Type Aware - Adjusts for different failures
  • Network Recovery - Time for connections to restore
  • Platform Stability - Time for platform issues to resolve
  • Logging - Tracks retry attempts

Why Exponential Matters

Rapid retries: Spam APIs, trigger rate limits, waste resources
Exponential backoff: Respectful, effective, industry standard

Smart retry timing maximizes success without platform abuse.

Pro Tips

  • First retry quick (30s) catches brief glitches
  • Later retries longer for persistent issues
  • Rate limits benefit from exponential delays
  • Network issues often resolve in 1-2 minutes
  • API problems may need 5-10 minutes
  • Cancel anytime if you want to fix manually
  • Automatic is best - let backoff handle timing
  • Industry standard - used by all professional tools
  • Platform friendly - won't get your account flagged
  • Success rate high - most temporary failures resolve
