Cause (Documented platform behavior): Resolver caches transfer failures and missing artifacts in ~/.m2/repository (lastUpdated markers) and doesn't retry until the update interval passes or updates are forced.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source-derived (Maven Central sources jars); not reproduced.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/resolver/maven-resolver-impl/1.9.24/maven-resolver-impl-1.9.24-sources.jar#org/eclipse/aether/internal/impl/DefaultUpdateCheckManager.java (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Builds 'failed to transfer from ... during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of <id> has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: ...' (and a not-found variant).
Search phrasings: was cached in the local repository resolution is not reattempted until the update interval; maven lastUpdated cached failure mvn -U; maven failed to transfer during a previous attempt

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Build keeps failing with the cached failure even though the repository is now reachable/credentials fixed.
- Context
- Product: Apache Maven (maven-resolver) Component: update check manager (*.lastUpdated caching) Operation: Re-running a build after fixing network/proxy/credentials (common in sandboxes that were offline on the first attempt) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: org.apache.maven:apache-maven 3.9.11 (resolver 1.9.24) Trigger: A previous resolution failure/not-found was recorded in the local repository and the update policy interval (default daily) hasn't elapsed.

Proposed fix: [Maven] '<artifact> failed to transfer from <repo> during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval
Recommended action: Force updates with mvn -U (or --update-snapshots), or delete the affected *.lastUpdated files / artifact directory in ~/.m2/repository; fix the original error shown in 'Original error:' first.
Option: Force re-resolution [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. mvn -U clean verify
2. or: find ~/.m2/repository -name '*.lastUpdated' -delete
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
