Which posts are tagged retries?
AI Agents When should the agent escalate instead of retrying
Escalate on auth, policy, ambiguous intent, repeated same-tool fail, and money movement. Retry only transient, idempotent tool errors with a hard bound.
Automation When does Continue on Fail hide real API errors in n8n
Continue on Fail hides real API errors when the node fails but the run stays green. Error Workflow never fires; last-valid data often walks into the next write.
Automation Why did my automation send twice
A second send is usually a webhook retry, a second trigger, a missing key, Wait+resume, or a stalled worker. Match that pair in Executions, then fix it.
Automation Dead Letter Queues for Automations: Where Failed Work Goes to Be Fixed
Park failed n8n work in a dead-letter queue with a replay path. Unbounded retries on a bad payload become vendor rate-limit incidents instead of recovery.
AI Agents Idempotent Agent Tool Writes: Retries Without Double Emails or Double Charges
Timeouts are unknown, not failed. Mint one runtime idempotency key per write intent and reuse it across retries so you cannot double-email or double-charge.
