| :------ | :------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | :------ |
| limit   | integer | Required. Maximum number of retries — re-runs after the first attempt. A step that still fails after `limit` retries (so `limit + 1` total runs) falls through to the next matching handler entry or the status default. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 100 | —       |
| delay   | integer | Optional. Delay in milliseconds before each retry. Minimum: 0. Maximum: 3600000                                                                                                                                                                   | —       |
| backoff | string  | Optional. Backoff strategy applied to the delay between retries. Accepted values: `fixed`, `exponential`                                                                                                                                          | —       |
