failed with a transient error (it changes the default backoff time algorithm
between retries). This option is only interesting if --retry is also
used. Setting this delay to zero makes curl use the default backoff time.
By default, curl uses an exponentially increasing timeout between retries.
Staring in curl 8.16.0, this option accepts a time as decimal number for parts
of seconds. The decimal value needs to be provided using a dot (.) as decimal
separator - not the local version even if it might be using another separator.

# `--retry-max-time`
The retry timer is reset before the first transfer attempt. Retries are done
as usual (see --retry) as long as the timer has not reached this given
limit. Notice that if the timer has not reached the limit, the request is
made and while performing, it may take longer than this given time period. To
limit a single request's maximum time, use --max-time. Set this option to zero
to not timeout retries.
