Aias00 opened a new issue, #6583: URL: https://github.com/apache/shenyu/issues/6583
## Description The `response` Mono passed in is already wrapped with `.timeout(duration)` in `AbstractHttpClientPlugin` (per-attempt timeout). Then the retry strategy wraps the ENTIRE retry chain in another `.timeout(duration)`. With `duration=3s` and `Retry.fixedDelay(3, Duration.ofSeconds(2))`, the outer 3s timeout fires before the 2s delay completes, so an operator configuring `retryTimes=3` actually gets at most 1 retry. (Counterpart: `DefaultRetryStrategy` "current" mode has NO outer timeout on the retry chain, so with `retryTimes=5` and `maxBackoff=20s` a dead-upstream request can occupy a connection for up to ~115s — slow-death amplification.) ## Location ``` shenyu-plugin-httpclient/.../ExponentialRetryBackoffStrategy.java:53-54 FixedRetryStrategy.java:52-53 ``` ## Impact Configured retry counts are silently ineffective (Exponential/Fixed), or unbounded connection occupation (Default "current"). ## Suggested fix Use a separate, longer timeout for the retry chain (e.g. `duration * (retryTimes + 1)` + backoff), or remove the inner per-attempt timeout and let the chain's outer timeout be the sole bound. Add an outer deadline to the DefaultRetryStrategy "current" mode. ## Related existing issue(s) None _Identified during the 2026-08-02 audit; full list in [`docs/issue-candidates-2026-08-02.md`](docs/issue-candidates-2026-08-02.md)._ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
