AntiPattern

Retry and Resource Fetch Loops

retry-without-stopping-condition

SDK or client-side image/script fetches fail (403/400/refused load) and the code keeps retrying or re-handling errors without a stopping condition, creating hangs or infinite loops that mask the real root cause.

MATCHESSolution

Use a cleanup function to clear the timeout, or simulate latency with Chrome DevTools throttling or MSW delay instead

MATCHESSolution

Track loading per request (e.g., per action or with a counter) instead of one global boolean, or guard/remain mounted so that remounting does not retrigger the fetch. E.g., use separate `loading` flags or increment/decrement an in-flight counter and render spinner only when the counter is > 0.

MATCHESSolution

handle a scenario when the code is fine but backend went offline — prefetching data with usePrefetchQuery. Tension: prefetch works.

MATCHESSolution

I've used `afterResponse` instead of `beforeRetry` — response.status === 403. Tension: the requests themselves still have the old token. Outcome: return ky(request);.

MATCHESSolution

maybe you can swap your post to axios, because it has a timeout property — if you only want to do this once. Tension: some requests take too long to download content (about a minute). Outcome: can you in anyway batch your requests, so you are sending more requests in order to receive smaller responses?

MATCHESSolution

Use the `error` object (or derive the error UI from the query’s status like `status === 'error'`) rather than relying on `isError` during refetch transitions, so the error message stays visible until the refetch successfully completes.

MATCHESSolution

you can use the fetchStatus value to know what is happening — useInfiniteQuery({ queryKey: ['users'], queryFn: fetchUsers as any, initialPageParam: 1, getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor, });. Tension: isFetching always returns True. Outcome: console.log(fetchStatus === 'fetching');.

MATCHESSolution

myEndpoint must return a Promise — Please note, that above method is synchronous just to check if that makes difference, but it is not. Tension: my template is keep displaying "Loading..".

MATCHESSolution

Disable retry — If the issue persists. Tension: it could be because the sdk is getting an error and appear to be hanging while it's retrying. Outcome: You could try disabling the retry and check if there is an error.

MATCHESSolution

And HTTP Client errors (if you're using `HttpClient` or `HttpClientFactory`) — On ASP.NET Core. Tension: you just need to opt-in. Outcome: options.CaptureFailedRequests = true;.

MATCHESSolution

Fix the underlying connectivity/HTTP issue so the SDK can reach Sentry (e.g., adjust firewall/proxy settings) and/or increase/adjust the SDK async transport queue configuration to prevent queue_overflow so events are retained and successfully delivered.

MATCHESSolution

single worker running async loop. Outcome: So you have a single worker running async loop and you block that loop.

MATCHESSolution

Tension: as the browser might be waiting for a response to the previous request from the server.

MATCHESSolution

making sure you pace your requests to stay below those limits — API rate limits. Tension: allowing room for your normal operations, too. Outcome: handle any 429 responses gracefully to retry.

MATCHESSolution

before passing it to MinIO Client SDK. Outcome: This is their condition for the exception:.

MATCHESSolution

Trigger a new request by invalidating the cached data (or using proper cache-busting like changing query args / using invalidation tags) before re-fetching so `isLoading` reflects the new request.

MATCHESSolution

implementing this retry behavior all over the place — axiosInstance.js. Tension: handle the retry logic. Outcome: you could try using a response interceptor to abstract and handle the retry logic.

MATCHESSolution

could re-call just the endpoint. Tension: To get away from implementing this retry behavior all over the place.

MATCHESSolution

Wrap `fetchBaseQuery` with a custom async base query inside `retry`, inspect the result, and call `retry.fail(result.error)` when `result.error?.status === 401` to prevent further retry attempts.

MATCHESSolution

turning off the flask server and restarting it immediately lets me get another 200 success — After my client side code beats the Antibot 200-220 times it ALWAYS starts failing. Tension: it does not help to restart the client side code. Outcome: restart the flask server again.

MATCHESSolution

HttpClient.GetAsync(new Uri(TextHelper.RedirectUrlNull(urlContent))); — We have an issue in our solution (we are using .net core). Tension: the SNYK vulnerabilities scaner show us that we have a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability.

MATCHESSolution

using the following Frida script — when it involves the WebView component. Tension: WebView component which triggers an onReceivedError (ERR_FAILED). Outcome: Calling handler.proceed().

MATCHESSolution

control the number of concurrent file downloads — the API requests, since they seem to work fine as fast as you can request them. Tension: this is not exactly possible, since `FileSaver.js` can't tell you when a file has completed downloading. Outcome: maybe with some tweaking of the "magic numbers" you can get a consistent (faster than one at a time) result.

MATCHESSolution

I am seeing an increase in latencies in requests that do succeed — I have a logic of the sort :. Tension: none of them enforce a timeout on the total duration of the request. Outcome: Then properly close the connection in a finally / try-resource block.

MATCHESSolution

If you start the server and wait several minutes before visiting any pages — does it still take several minutes for that first page? Tension: long startup in general or something request specific. Outcome: Figuring out if it is a long startup in general or something request specific could be a good spot to start.

MATCHESSolution

Tension: it was being looped infinitely, crashed and restarted every time. Outcome: fixes the issue.

MATCHESSolution

Fixed 30s retry on 429 keeps hammering. — when clearly rate-limited. Tension: keeps hammering. Outcome: Exponential backoff + hard rejection during cooldown.

MATCHESSolution

Stopped the active runner — background extraction does not consume Gemini quota. Tension: continuing futile retries. Outcome: waits until the Pacific reset instead of continuing futile retries.

MATCHESSolution

Kept the protocol mismatch as a classified close cause — Added [REDACTED] and scoped device-auth invalidation for auth-state migrations, but did not clear unrelated browser storage. Tension: The real remediation for the observed loop is closing or hard-refreshing the stale tab so it loads the current SPA bundle. Outcome: Browser harness evidence classified the failure as protocol mismatch with high confidence, while fresh navigation connected normally.

MATCHESSolution

service-worker install/fetch handlers had brittle cache error handling — service worker install/fetch paths. Tension: brittle cache error handling. Outcome: tolerant precache and explicit offline responses.
