Increase celery retry time each retry cycle

Question

I do retries with celery like in the Docs-Example:

@task()
def add(x, y):
    try:
        ...
    except Exception, exc:
        add.retry(exc=exc, countdow         


        

Answer 1

Keep a variable with your last retry time in it, and multiply it by 2 each time until it exceeds whatever level you want (or, keep a count if you prefer a certain number of times...)
