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.

How to Use

  1. 1Post fails due to network issue
  2. 2See first retry scheduled: "30 seconds"
  3. 3Watch countdown: 30, 29, 28...
  4. 4First retry fails (network still down)
  5. 5See second retry: "1 minute"
  6. 6Watch countdown: 60, 59, 58...
  7. 7Second retry fails
  8. 8See third retry: "2 minutes"
  9. 9Network recovers
  10. 10Third retry succeeds
  11. 11Post publishes successfully
  12. 12Check retry log to see timing

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
