 - `delay`: How long to wait between restart attempts, specified as a [duration](extension.md#specifying-durations). The default is 0, meaning restart attempts can occur immediately.

+A failed attempt only counts toward `max_attempts` if the container does not successfully restart within the time defined by `window`.
+For example, if `max_attempts` is set to `2` and the container fails to restart within the window on the first try, Compose continues retrying until two such failed attempts occur, even if that means trying more than twice.
+- `window`: The amount of time to wait after a restart to determine whether it was successful, specified as a [duration](extension.md#specifying-durations) (default: the result is evaluated immediately after the restart).
