@<1724960464275771392:profile|DepravedBee82> the agent (and SDK) will wait for quite some time and retry even if a server is not available. The printout you've attached is not something the agent or SDK print out - is this something your code prints? In general, I can easily test that (and just did 🙂 ) by running an agent with a task and simply disconnecting the network cable - the agent will keep trying for a very long time before giving up (backoff times keep increasing, and the max retries for network connectivity is 254 by default).
By the way, the sdk.network.iteration.max_retries_on_server_error is not actually used by the clearml python package, only by the ClearML enterprise python package
