Can DeepSeek recover by itself from an occasional connection failure?

A brief network or service hiccup does not always need to end the whole request. This release improves recovery specifically for direct DeepSeek connections.

The short answer

Yes. When a DeepSeek connection hits a temporary failure that is safe to recover from, FinchStory can retry a limited number of times instead of failing immediately. Other models keep their existing behavior.

A short hiccup does not have to become a failed run

For recoverable DeepSeek connection problems, FinchStory makes a limited retry attempt so brief network or service issues can resolve on their own.

Retries stay bounded

Recovery is intentionally limited. If the problem continues, the request still ends clearly instead of leaving you waiting indefinitely.

Other models keep their current rules

This recovery policy applies specifically to direct DeepSeek connections and is not imposed on other model providers.

What's new

Added recovery for direct DeepSeek connections.
Recoverable temporary failures can retry a limited number of times.

Other models keep their existing behavior.
