The retry option lets you define how many times a Serverless Job automatically retries on failure. A retry is triggered whenever a job run ends in a `failed` status, regardless of the exit code returned by the runtime.

- **Retried** — job runs in a `failed` status, including those that fail with a `null` exit code (e.g., platform mismatch or other infrastructure-side error).
- **Not retried** — job runs in an `interrupted` status. Retry on `interrupted` is not yet supported.

Once the job reaches the maximum number of failed retries, it is permanently marked as `failed`.

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
