Rulvar API reference / @rulvar/rulvar / retryDelayMs

Function: retryDelayMs()

function retryDelayMs(
   policy, 
   retryIndex, 
   retryAfterMs?, 
   random?): number;

Defined in: packages/core/dist/index.d.ts

The delay before retry number retryIndex (zero based: the delay after the first failed attempt has index 0). A VALID provider supplied retryAfterMs (finite and nonnegative) REPLACES the computed delay (Appendix A); anything else (NaN, Infinity, a negative) is ignored as adapter noise and the policy backoff applies, so this boundary stays defensive against custom adapters (v1.28.0 review P2). Jitter is equal jitter: half the backoff is deterministic, half random, so a jittered delay never collapses to zero. The result is always a finite nonnegative integer clamped to the Node timer maximum (2147483647 ms).
