retryable error

Error message

retryable error: %w

What it means

The retry transport wraps a network-level RoundTrip error as 'retryable error' and retries with backoff until maxAttempts is exhausted. The returned error indicates all attempts failed at the transport level.

Solutions

1. Check network connectivity and LAPI availability
2. Increase retry/backoff settings if the network is flaky
3. Inspect the wrapped error for the underlying cause
