RedisMqServer and wait time before retries

tbednarz · August 18, 2025, 4:24pm

Can anybody explain what the WaitBeforeNextRestart exactly means. Is it the time between two executions (defined by RetryCount) or is it the recovery time in case RedisMqServer crashes?

I use messages to download files from a WebService (HuggingFace, host of many LLMs). I authenticate with a token, so my download restrictions should go away.
However, after some hundred small files (I just download readme and config files, not the LLMs itself) I get error messages like ‘HuggingFace rate limit exceeded’. It asks for a pause of 60 seconds.
So a good solution would be, if I could define some retries and define to WAIT a specific time between retries. Is that anyhow possible?

It’s the time to wait before next restart of the RedisPubSubServer RunLoop after failing.

          if (AutoRestart && Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref status, 0, 0) != Status.Disposed)
          {
              if (WaitBeforeNextRestart != null)
                  TaskUtils.Sleep(WaitBeforeNextRestart.Value);
          
              OnEvent?.Invoke($"[{DateTime.UtcNow.TimeOfDay:g} {GetStatus()}] RunLoop().AutoRestart> Start()");
              Start();
          }
