How to write retry policy in .net

I have the below code which is called by a webhook. It does a post call to a cms which has a rate limiting policy where it allows only 10 calls per second. So how to write a retry policy the api calls fails.

c#
 public async Task HandleRedirectAsync(string slug, string previousSlug, string contentTypeId, string entryId)
        {
            var endpoint = "entries";
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(slug))
            {
                var isPreviousSlugNotEmpty = !String.IsNullOrEmpty(previousSlug);
                var isSlugAndPreviousSlugSame = slug == previousSlug;


                if (isPreviousSlugNotEmpty && isSlugAndPreviousSlugSame)
                {
                    return;
                }

                await DeleteRedirectLoopsAsync(slug, contentTypeId, endpoint);

                
                if (isPreviousSlugNotEmpty && !isSlugAndPreviousSlugSame)
                {
                    await CreateAndPublishRedirectEntryAsync(entryId, previousSlug, slug);
                }
                await UpdateEntryAsync(contentTypeId, entryId);
            }
        }

c#
 public async Task HandleRedirectAsync(string slug, string previousSlug, string contentTypeId, string entryId)
        {
            var endpoint = "entries";
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(slug))
            {
                var isPreviousSlugNotEmpty = !String.IsNullOrEmpty(previousSlug);
                var isSlugAndPreviousSlugSame = slug == previousSlug;


                if (isPreviousSlugNotEmpty && isSlugAndPreviousSlugSame)
                {
                    return;
                }

                await DeleteRedirectLoopsAsync(slug, contentTypeId, endpoint);

                
                if (isPreviousSlugNotEmpty && !isSlugAndPreviousSlugSame)
                {
                    await CreateAndPublishRedirectEntryAsync(entryId, previousSlug, slug);
                }
                await UpdateEntryAsync(contentTypeId, entryId);
            }
        }

Any idea on how to start

The defacto standard way would be to use Polly.

// Create an instance of builder that exposes various extensions for adding resilience strategies
ResiliencePipeline pipeline = new ResiliencePipelineBuilder()
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions()) // Add retry using the default options
    .AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)) // Add 10 seconds timeout
    .Build(); // Builds the resilience pipeline

// Execute the pipeline asynchronously
await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(static async token => { /* Your custom logic goes here */ }, cancellationToken);

// Create an instance of builder that exposes various extensions for adding resilience strategies
ResiliencePipeline pipeline = new ResiliencePipelineBuilder()
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions()) // Add retry using the default options
    .AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)) // Add 10 seconds timeout
    .Build(); // Builds the resilience pipeline

// Execute the pipeline asynchronously
await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(static async token => { /* Your custom logic goes here */ }, cancellationToken);

you just create a pipeline with your selected strategies (like retry with timeout) then execute it, passing in your method

So is this policy should be handled in the startup. I already have a retry policy has been added for timeout. I can't able to see the class ResiliencePipeline eventhough I have polly in my .net core. Seems like I have Microsoft.extension.http.polly. Is both are different.

      services
               .AddHttpClient<IContentfulManagementService, ContentfulManagementService>((s, c) =>
               {
                   c.BaseAddress = new Uri(managementApiURL);
                   c.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", ManagementClientApiKey);
                   c.Timeout = timeout;
               })
               .AddTransientHttpErrorPolicy(ErrorPolicy)
           .AddPolicyHandler(timeoutPolicy);

 private static Func<PolicyBuilder<HttpResponseMessage>, IAsyncPolicy<HttpResponseMessage>> ErrorPolicy =>
            p => p.Or<TimeoutRejectedException>().WaitAndRetryAsync(2, retryAttempt => TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Math.Pow(2, retryAttempt)));
