Summary

  • Reduce max_retries from 6 to 2 and increase retry_wait_time from 5s to 10s
  • 6 retries with 5s wait compounds 429 rate limiting from GitHub — many rapid retries keep triggering rate limits
  • Fewer retries with longer wait between them is more effective at recovering from 429s

Test plan

  • Link check CI workflow passes without hitting sustained 429 errors
