The cli-retry-count option specifies the number of connection attempts. The system retries automatically if a request times out due to a network connection problem. The value range of --cli-retry-count is 0 to 5, and the default value is 0.

If a request fails due to abnormal network connection, the following information is displayed on KooCLI:

hcloud RDS ListInstances --cli-region="eu-west-101" --Content-Type="application/json" --project_id="2cc60****************caefa5019ef" --cli-retry-count=3
[NETWORK_ERROR] Connection timed out 4 consecutive times (reconnection attempts: 3). Check network connectivity.

If the network connection is normal, the following information is displayed:
```
hcloud RDS ListInstances --cli-region="eu-west-101" --Content-Type="application/json" --project_id="2cc60****************caefa5019ef" --cli-retry-count=3
{
  "instances": [],
  "total_count": 0
}
```
CAUTION:

Setting the retry count with --cli-retry-count may cause idempotence and cyclic API calls. Exercise caution when using this option for resource creation APIs.
