What is AWS auto retrying of requests when there is a timeout?

edit

AWS auto retrying of requests is a feature whereby if a request to an AWS service times out, the request will be automatically retried. This feature is built into the AWS SDKs and APIs and is designed to improve application availability and resiliency. When a request times out, the SDK or API will automatically retry the request a predefined number of times. If the request continues to fail, the SDK or API will raise an error indicating the request could not be completed. This feature helps applications handle network connectivity issues and service disruptions, ensuring that critical workloads are not interrupted.
