WIth temporal retry policy we can achieve retry time as 10, 20, 40 minutes with backoffCoefficient as 2,  
but i need to achieve 10, 20, 30 minutes… how can it be achieved? using typescript

Hi @kishore_kumar

I believe you can set backoffCoefficient=1 and initialInterval to 10 minutes, so the time between retries will remain the same always.

```auto
  "retryPolicy": {
    "backoffCoefficient": 1,
    "initialInterval": 600000
  }

```

There is a simulator that can help with this

> **[How to visualize an Activity Retry Policy with timeouts | Temporal Documentation](https://docs.temporal.io/dev-guide/activity-retry-simulator)**

> Use this tool to visualize total Activity Execution times and experiment with various Activity timeouts and Retry Policies.

hey @antonio.perez , The time between retries must be 10, 20, 30 minutes respectively, Not 10 always

Should it stop at 30? Or does it keep growing?

you are right, sorry @kishore_kumar

Setting maximumInterval to 30 minutes, initial to 10 minutes and backoffCoefficient to 2 should work.

```auto

{
  "retryPolicy": {
    "backoffCoefficient": 2,
    "initialInterval": 60000,
    "maximumInterval": 180000
  }
}

```
