For customers needing a more granular control, we now support automatic step rerun to complement our existing workflow rerun feature.
Rather than rerunning entire workflows, you can now automatically rerun specific failed steps. Simply specify max_auto_reruns in your run step configuration with a value between 1 and 5. You can also configure an optional auto_rerun_delay (up to 10 minutes) to give temporary issues time to resolve before retrying, such as when resources need time to become available again.
The UI provides clear indicators showing the current attempt number and remaining retries. This feature is available to all CircleCI customers across all plan types.
