lost about 300 rows of data because an upstream api hit us with a 429 and my loop just
stopped working died silently. instead of relying on one function, i implemented a system with backoff and a
dead-letter queue to catch those failed requests. it is
crucial to handle these transient errors with
multiple layers rather than just hoping for the best. does anyone else use a specific strategy for managing
UrlFetchApp.fetch
retries?
