Proposed fix: [ioredis] 'MaxRetriesPerRequestError: Reached the max retries per request limit (which is 20). Refer to "maxRetriesPerRequest" option for details.' — Redis unreachable (wrong host/TLS/au
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Find the underlying connection error (listen to 'error' events / logs) and fix host/port/TLS/password. Tune maxRetriesPerRequest (lower for request paths to fail fast; null to wait forever where appropriate, e.g. BullMQ workers).
Option: Fix connectivity, then tune retries [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Any ioredis app
Steps:
1. Attach redis.on('error', ...) and read the first error
2. Correct host (service name, not localhost, in compose), port, rediss:// for TLS, password/ACL user
3. Set maxRetriesPerRequest: 1 for request-serving paths if fast failure is desired
Expected: Commands succeed or fail fast with the real reason
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
