Notes

  • Jobs with status Failed or Warning can be retried
  • A new job is created with a new UUID
  • The original failed job remains unchanged (for audit purposes)
  • All original parameters are preserved (URL, format, codecs, webhook, etc.)
  • The new job uses your current S3 configuration (in case you updated it)
  • Usage/billing is counted for the new job
