# Features

# Retry Mechanism

The `upstash-vector` SDK incorporates a reliable retry mechanism to manage network or API issues. In the event of a failed request, the SDK automatically attempts up to three retries, with each attempt spaced one second apart.

For customization of the retry behavior, you have the flexibility to set the `retries` and `retry_interval` (in seconds) parameters according to your specific requirements. For instance:

```python
from upstash_vector import Index

# Try 5 times with a 2-second interval between retries
index = Index.from_env(retries=5, retry_interval=2.0)
```
