QuestionQ77

VerifiedSecurity and Safety

A teammate asks how the Claude SDK handles transient API errors, such as a temporary network problem or a brief rate-limit response. They want to know whether application code must handle every transient error or whether the SDK offers any default behavior.

How would you describe the SDK’s default behavior?

Explanation

The Claude SDK automatically retries several transient failures, including connection errors, rate-limit responses, and server errors, using exponential backoff. It retries twice by default; applications can configure or disable retries and add custom handling when needed. Errors can still reach application code if retries are exhausted.
