--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.
The retry timer starts immediately before the first transfer attempt and includes time spent sleeping between retries (such as delays defined by --retry-delay). Before each new retry is started, curl checks whether the elapsed time has reached the specified limit. If it has, no further retries are performed.
A transfer that has already started is allowed to run to completion even if this makes the total wall clock time exceed the limit. Use --max-time to also cap the duration of each individual transfer attempt.
Starting 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.
