Cost & Capacity Planning
How do retries and long-running agent waits affect total operational spend?
Retries and long-running agent waits directly alter the overall operational spend profile for active durable execution workflows. Each retry reactivates workflow components, and extended runtimes stemming from prolonged agent waits in turn drive up additional execution layer costs with every repeated task attempt across active workflow instances. A key caveat is that unoptimized retry policies can often amplify these costs beyond typical current baseline workload levels for deployed production workflows.
