# Retry policy
## Goals
- Retry per HTTP request, not per multi-step flow.
- Preserve ordering by retrying only the current step.
- Avoid duplicating non-idempotent operations.
## Defaults
- Attempts: 3
- Max delay cap: 30000 ms
- Jitter: 0.1 (10 percent)
- Provider defaults:
- Telegram min delay: 400 ms
- Discord min delay: 500 ms
## Behavior
### Discord
- Retries only on rate-limit errors (HTTP 429).
- Uses Discord `retry_after` when available, otherwise exponential backoff.
### Telegram
- Retries on transient errors (429, timeout, connect/reset/closed, temporarily unavailable).
- Uses `retry_after` when available, otherwise exponential backoff.
- Markdown parse errors are not retried; they fall back to plain text.
## Configuration
Set retry policy per provider in `~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json`:
```json5
{
channels: {
telegram: {
retry: {
attempts: 3,
minDelayMs: 400,
maxDelayMs: 30000,
jitter: 0.1
}
},
discord: {
retry: {
attempts: 3,
minDelayMs: 500,
maxDelayMs: 30000,
jitter: 0.1
}
}
}
}
```
## Notes
- Retries apply per request (message send, media upload, reaction, poll, sticker).
- Composite flows do not retry completed steps.
