RestartInterval
is an option controlling the restart behavior of functions such as ContinuousTask.
Details

- A ContinuousTask consults the value of RestartInterval in the event of a failed evaluation.
- In the cloud, the wait incurred by RestartInterval does not include overhead associated with scheduled task startup.
Examples
Basic Examples (1)
By default, a failed ContinuousTask evaluation results in a series of restart attempts at progressively longer time intervals. Alternatively, supply a number of seconds or a time Quantity:
Supply a function that takes the number of consecutive failures as a parameter and returns a number of seconds:
