@tseisel don’t know about any such built in behavior but when we’ve come across such use cases in my team we have used kotlins repeat and in some cases just written extensions

Based on the implementation of HttpRedirect, I wrote a feature that automatically retry a request after the given delay if it received the Http Code "Too Many Requests" :

class RetryAfter {
    companion object : HttpClientFeature<Unit, RetryAfter> {
        override val key: AttributeKey<RetryAfter> = AttributeKey("RetryFeature")

        override fun prepare(block: Unit.() -> Unit): RetryAfter = RetryAfter()

        override fun install(feature: RetryAfter, scope: HttpClient) {
            scope.feature(HttpSend)!!.intercept { origin ->
                val status = origin.response.status
                val retryAfterSeconds = origin.response.headers[HttpHeaders.RetryAfter]?.toLongOrNull()

                if (status != HttpStatusCode.TooManyRequests || retryAfterSeconds == null) {
                    origin
                } else {
                    origin.close()
                    delay((retryAfterSeconds + 1) * 1000)

                    execute(HttpRequestBuilder().apply {
                        takeFrom(origin.request)
                    })
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
