Function Compute:Error handling

If a function fails to be executed, its invocation method determines whether Function Compute automatically retries the function.

• Failed synchronous invocation

  Function Compute does not automatically retry the function. You can manually retry the function.

• Failed asynchronous invocation
  In the following situations, Function Compute automatically retries the function.

  Failure cause	HTTP status code	Server behavior	Billable	Solution
  An error of the HandledInvocationError or UnhandledInvocationError type in Function Compute occurs. For more information about the error types in Function Compute, see Basics.	200	By default, Function Compute retries the function a maximum of three times. You can change this setting as needed.	Billed based on the number of invocations. For more information, see Billing overview.	Troubleshoot your code.
  Execution concurrency exceeds the upper limit.	429	Function Compute retries the function for up to 5 hours in binary exponential backoff mode. Function Compute starts to retry a function 0.5 seconds after the function fails to be executed. The subsequent retries are performed at binary exponential back-off intervals, such as 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds.	No	By default, the maximum number of on-demand instances allowed for your Alibaba Cloud account in each region is 300.

  An internal system error occurs.	500	Function Compute retries the function for up to 5 hours in binary exponential backoff mode. Function Compute starts to retry a function 0.5 seconds after the function fails to be executed. The subsequent retries are performed at binary exponential back-off intervals, such as 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds.	No	Join the DingTalk group 11721331 to contact the technical support.
  Function Compute resources are insufficient.	503	Function Compute retries the function for up to 5 hours in binary exponential backoff mode. Function Compute starts to retry a function 0.5 seconds after the function fails to be executed. The subsequent retries are performed at binary exponential back-off intervals, such as 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 8 seconds.
