After a 500 response no requests are sent again until process is restarted

Question

I am using Polly to implement request retries. However, after a 500 response is returned for a request, not only does Polly not send a request when it retries but no requests are sent at all until the process is restarted. Instead Polly just waits until there is a timeout. The following is the code:

var timeoutPolicy = TimeoutPolicy
    .TimeoutAsync<HttpResponseMessage>(c => c.GetTimeout() ?? TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)); //timeout para cada intento

var retryPolicy = HttpPolicyExtensions
    .HandleTransientHttpError()
    .Or<TimeoutRejectedException>() //tirado por la TimeoutPolicy
    .WaitAndRetryAsync(new[] { TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10) });

var policyHandler = new PolicyHandler(Policy.WrapAsync(retryPolicy, timeoutPolicy));

How can I fix the code such that Polly actually sends the request when it retries after a 500 and also for following requests?

Answer 1

The error was caused by the following issue

This is how I fixed it:

var retryPolicy = HttpPolicyExtensions
    .HandleTransientHttpError()
    .Or<TimeoutRejectedException>() //tirado por la TimeoutPolicy
    .WaitAndRetryAsync(new[] 
      { 
        TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), 
        TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5), 
        TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10) 
      }, 
      onRetry: (x, _) =>
      {
          //dispose response when retrying
          x.Result?.Dispose();
      });
