How to get information about a mutation retry?

[rudzky]

Hello!

I'm using useMutation in my application and I have configured it with retry: true and retryDelay: 10_000. My expectation is that the mutation will retry every 10 seconds after a failure.

However, I'm having trouble identifying when exactly the retry happens. Once the mutation starts, its status becomes Pending and stays that way throughout the retries. This makes it unclear whether the retry logic is actively attempting the operation again or simply waiting for the retry delay to elapse.

Is there any way to observe or be notified about the retry attempts? For example, is there a method or state in useMutation that provides insight into when a retry is happening, or should I implement some custom logic to track this?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

we don’t expose retry failures, retries are pretty much an opaque process. but retry can be a function so you can hook into that if you want.
