Settings
You can configure the following settings for Response blocks.
Timeout after (ms)
The duration to wait before the block times out. Default is 10000.
Retry count
The maximum number of attempts to retry the query if an error is returned.
Interval
The minimum length of time to wait between query retries. This is useful if a query is triggering a rate limit.
Exponential
Whether to increase the interval between retries, also known as exponential backoff. This is useful for handling rate limits.
Coefficient
When exponential backoff is enabled, the constant factor by which the time delay between retry attempts increases after each failure.
Max interval
When exponential backoff is enabled, the maximum time to delay between retries.
Finally
Whether to stop the workflow and return an error if the block fails, or continue to allow an error handler to run.
