Uncontrolled retries can worsen temporary failures. Design mobile verification retries within a total latency budget.
Evaluation approach
Set timeouts, bounded attempts and distributed delays. Ensure retries cannot duplicate operations.
Application example
Staggered waiting can reduce a second load wave when many devices retry simultaneously.
Limits and considerations
Invalid credentials or signatures should not be retried indefinitely as transient network failures.
Which errors should not be retried?
Treat permanent authorization rejection and invalid signatures differently from timeouts. Tie retries to error classes instead of showing an endless spinner.
Checks and decisions
- Classify errors
- Bound attempts
- Measure total delay
