Handling errors notifications that resolve after several retries

[Jonathan Mui]

My application makes an API call to a third-party API service and will occasionally get a temporary error like`Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer - SSL_connect`. After a few retries, it resolves itself. However, after the first failure, the exception will automatically be captured by Honeybadger. 

I'd ideally like to only be notified if it's a very persistent problem (ie. exceptions notified after 10 failed retries). I'm not sure if there's something I can do from the Sidekiq side to address this issue or if would be entirely reliant on Honeybadger's notification patterns. 

Thanks!

You can handle that in your application code by rescheduling manually for X tries and then raising after that.
