set retry limit

[IanButterworth]

If you give the version 1.9-nightly this action hangs indefinitely.

[DilumAluthge]

I'd even be fine with a higher retry limit, like 10.

I agree the most important part is to have a limit (instead of retrying forever).

[IanButterworth]

Actually the current number of retries before timeout is already only 11.

Perhaps the issue here is more that it's silent while retrying.

I've made the retry debug messages infos to make the user aware something's up before the action times out
