Does retry_on_initial_connect retry forever?

[feelingsonice]

Don't see any timeouts or retry limit for it, does it retry forever if I set it to true?

[Jarema]

Yes, it retires forever with exponential backoff.
You can set limit with max_reconnects

To customize the reconnect delays use reconnect_delay_callback

[feelingsonice]

Does max_reconnects also affect reconnecting after the initial connection?

[Jarema]

yes. Its maximum number of attemps after loosing connection. Counter will be reset after successful reconnect attempt.

from docs:

    /// Specifies the number of consecutive reconnect attempts the client will
    /// make before giving up. This is useful for preventing zombie services
    /// from endlessly reaching the servers, but it can also be a footgun and
    /// surprise for users who do not expect that the client can give up
    /// entirely.
    ///
    /// Pass `None` or `0` for no limit.
    ///
