Retry Logic

Retry logic refers to the automated process an auto-posting tool uses when a single post fails to publish — attempting the post again after a short delay before giving up and surfacing the failure for manual attention. This tag collects technical explainers on how retries, backoff timing, and failure classification work in RSS-based social media automation, distinct from full account or feed-wide outages. The distinction that matters is between a failure worth retrying, such as a rate limit, and one that will never succeed, such as a deleted image. Knowing which you are looking at is what stops you waiting for a post that is not coming. The related failed posts tag covers recovery once the cause is fixed.
