Root Cause

gRPC automatic retry policy exhausted all attempts.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 85% success Configure hedging for latency-sensitive idempotent RPCs
  2. 90% success Use retry with exponential backoff: maxAttempts=5, backoffMultiplier=2

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Set unlimited retries 85% fail

    Can loop forever on permanent errors

  2. Remove retry policy 72% fail

    No fault tolerance
