Community SupportHi 1569hypernova ,
Thank you for sharing your workaround. While your approach works well, we suggest considering a more efficient retry mechanism using Exponential Backoff.
- Instead of retrying at fixed intervals you can gradually increase the wait time between retries ( 5s → 10s → 20s → 40s).
- This method reduces unnecessary delays and enhances reliability when accessing the shortcut.
- It also incorporates a maximum retry limit to prevent infinite loops.
- If the shortcut remains inaccessible, please check permissions, cluster initialization, and the sync timing of the Synapse Link.
