FatalExceptionDelayConfiguration

Fatal exception delays

When a worker encounters a fatal exception, it can be configured to backoff and delay before issuing another dequeue command.

This is controlled by a collection of timestamps on the transport configuration. Each time a fatal exception is encountered, the worker will increment a count, and then pause for the length of time indicated by the time span.

The configuration has default delays, but you can change them.

queue.Configuration.TransportConfiguration.FatalExceptionDelayBehavior.Clear();
var list = new List<TimeSpan>
{
	TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
	TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
    TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2),
    TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3),
    TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),
    TimeSpan.FromSeconds(8)
};
queue.Configuration.TransportConfiguration.FatalExceptionDelayBehavior.Add(list);
