I'm creating a retry policy the following way: var policy = Policy.Handle<Exception>().WaitAndRetryAsync... How to chail/build a timeout for the retrypolicy above? Policy.TimeoutAsync returns a TimeoutPolicy , hence I'm not able to do something like var policy = Policy.TimeoutAsync(30).Handle<Exception>().WaitAndRetryAsync... . Does the timeout become a common setting for all my retry policies? To combine policies, you build each policy separately, then combine them using PolicyWrap . To build an overall timeout which applies across all retries as a whole (ie across the entire operation): var

I'm working with a very flaky API. Sometimes I get 500 Server Error with Timeout , some other time I also get 500 Server Error because I gave it input that it can't handle SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM. . Both of these cases give me HttpRequestException but I can look into the reply message from the server and determine the cause of the exception. If it is a timeout error, I should try again. If it is a bad input I should re-throw the exception, because no amount of retries will fix the problem of bad data. What I'd like to do with Polly

I'm trying to test whether the connection string is null using Polly. If it is null, I want to try three times using the CircuitBreaker and the message should be outputted in the Console window. Policy policy = null; // Break the circuit after the specified number of exceptions // and keep circuit broken for the specified duration. policy = Policy .Handle<NullReferenceException>() .CircuitBreaker(3, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)); try { string connected = policy.Execute(() => repository.GetConnectionString()); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("{0}",ex.Message); } and the
