Jobs now track retry attempts in memory and implement exponential backoff with capped delays. Notifications display retry numbers for visibility into failure patterns.
Changes
retryCount?: numbertoJobArgsto persist retry state across job lifecycledelayJob()to increment retry count and calculate delay asmin(2^(n-1), 60)minutesBehavior
Retry delays follow: 1min → 2min → 4min → 8min → 16min → 32min → 60min (capped)
Cap at 60 minutes prevents unbounded delays for persistent failures (retry #20 would otherwise delay ~1 year).
