Fix InstructorRetryException
in Instructor
✅ Solution
InstructorRetryException usually arises from rate limiting or transient errors in the underlying API being called. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and jitter around the API call within your instructor client. This will handle temporary service unavailability or exceeding API usage limits, ultimately preventing the exception.
