+description: Automatically retry failures with exponential backoff
+---
+
+<Markdown src="/snippets/pro-callout.mdx" />
+
+Fern SDKs will automatically retry failed requests with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as
+long as the request is deemed retryable and the number of retry attempts has
+not grown larger than the configured retry limit.
+
+### Retryable status codes
+
+A request is deemed retryable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:
+- [408](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/408) (Timeout)
+- [429](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429) (Too Many Requests)
+- [5XX](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/500) (Internal Server Errors)
+
+Note that you can configure the list of retryable status codes as well. For example,
+if you want to remove the `429` status code from the list of retryable status codes, you can do so.
+
+### Overriding the retry limit
+
+By default, the SDK will retry a failed request up to 2 times. SDK users can override the global
+default retry limit when instantiating the client.
