With the following policy, how do you calculate the elapse time if the workflow task had to retry 13 times with the back-off policy defined:

Retry Policy Initial Interval 10s

Retry Policy Backoff Coefficient 2

Retry Policy Maximum Interval 1000s

Retry Policy Maximum Attempts 13

I’ve plugged yours in, but might require adding up the values in the graph to get the number you’re looking for.

I think it’s a little over 6000 seconds.
