I've not used cursor but if it's one where every request costs token where do you draw the line? 1 retry? 3 retries? Configurable? Bases on what?

I mean, I'm 90% with you but this is at least one where I could imagine a good reason and not just laziness or stupidity on the service's side.

I imagine (and hope) I'm not being billed for requests that fail. In my own apps that use Anthropic API, sometimes the req just fails the initial connection (and so has to be retried), usually works in 1-2 retries.
