I've had the same problem, and I got the requests to be retried using the RequestRetrier, should method and request.retryCount. Something like it:

// MARK: - RequestRetry

public func should(_ manager: SessionManager, retry request: Request, with error: Error, completion: @escaping RequestRetryCompletion) {
    lock.lock() ; defer { lock.unlock() }


    if let response = request.task?.response as? HTTPURLResponse{
        if response.statusCode == 401 {
            requestsToRetry.append(completion)

            getToken { (expires, _) in
               _ = SessionCountdownToken.sharedInstance.startCount(expirationTime: expires)
            }
        } else {

            if request.retryCount == 3 { completion(false, 0.0 ); return}
            completion(true, 1.0)
            return
        }
    } else {
        completion(false, 0.0)
    }
}
