How many times will Lambda retry in case of 429 and 500 series errors?

0

For 429 and 5xx errors, the document says:

If the function doesn't have enough concurrency available to process all events, additional requests are throttled. For throttling errors (429) and system errors (500-series), Lambda returns the event to the queue and attempts to run the function again for up to 6 hours. The retry interval increases exponentially from 1 second after the first attempt to a maximum of 5 minutes. If the queue contains many entries, Lambda increases the retry interval and reduces the rate at which it reads events from the queue.

I want to find out how many retries will happen in cases like this.

Hi,

The Lambda retry strategy is different depending on the service with which Lambda is used.

This post explains those various strategies depending on the other service: https://www.serverlessguru.com/blog/lambda-retry-mechanisms
