Cost & Capacity Planning
How do retries and long-running waits affect agent workload spend?
Retries and long-running waits can increase total agent workload spend significantly overall. Each retry adds extra execution cycles and additional separate model API calls, while prolonged waits consume idle compute resources tied to ongoing active workflow tracking efforts for deployed agent workflows. Durable execution’s state preservation reduces waste from repeated full workflow restarts, though it does not fully eliminate all unnecessary associated operational spending across all runs.
