FWIW, I just re-ran the BitBucket job and it downloaded everything just fine...

what version of the CLI?

Hey, it's me! Always the very latest stable version 🙂

Clojure CLI version 1.12.6.1673

I only hit this occasionally (not even every time BitBucket rebuilds the cache, which would be once a week). And re-running the same BitBucket job—which would rebuild the cache from scratch again in this case—always seems to work, so it's very infrequent.

what Java version?

as far as I understand it, the current version of CLI which uses the newer version of the Maven resolver which uses the Java HTTP client (Java 11+), which responds appropriately to 429 requests

Again, the very latest Java/JVM version: 27 (27+35 right now but it will be 27.0.1 soon).

the retries in the case of a 429 are not infinite of course - I think the default config is something like retry 3 times on a 5 second interval

so you may still be breaching the retry count even with the latest code. there are properties that can be set to change those. they are per-repo but I'm not exactly sure where you would set them (maybe settings.xml, maybe system props)

these are the properties you're trying to reach https://github.com/apache/maven-resolver/blob/master/maven-resolver-api/src/main/java/org/eclipse/aether/ConfigurationProperties.java#L381-L407

something like -Daether.connector.http.retryHandler.count.central=10 maybe (same for clojars) ?

to set those on a Clojure CLI command line, you want that to apply to the deps process (not the main), so in env on export CLJ_JVM_OPTS="-Daether.connector.http.retryHandler.count.central=10 -Daether.connector.http.retryHandler.count.clojars=10"

and maybe you need to increase the interval with ...retryHandler.interval=10000

aether.transport.http.retryHandler.count.central I think. Thanks. If it happens again, I may try adding that.
