+
+The number of retries for a failing task can be controlled using the `set_attempts_available()` method on the task before it is queued. If not specified a task will be allowed **12** retries.
+
+```php
+$task->set_attempts_available(2);
+\core\task\manager::queue_adhoc_task($task);
+```
+
+You can get the remaining available attempts of a task by calling the `get_attempts_available()` function.
+
+```php
+$task->get_attempts_available();
+```
+
+Tasks are retried by default, but this behaviour can be modified by overriding the `retry_until_success()` method in your task class, for example:
+
+```php
+public function retry_until_success(): bool {
+    return false;

+
+The behaviour of the task runner has been changed to limit the number of retries allowed before a failing _adhoc_ task is removed. Scheduled tasks are not affected.
+
+The default value for the maximum retry limit on an Ad-hoc task is **12**.
+
+Retries can be entirely disabled by passing a value of `0`, for example:
+
+```php
+$task = new example_task();
+// This task wil not be retried at all.
+$task->set_attempts_available(0);
+\core\task\manager::queue_task($task);
+```
+
+See the [detailed documentation](./apis/subsystems/task/adhoc#retrying-failing-tasks) on how to use these new APIs.
