Does axios have built-in retry logic? If so, where?

Based on the repository data provided, axios does not have built-in retry logic. Instead, the codebase demonstrates how to implement retry logic yourself using interceptors.

The MIGRATION_GUIDE.md includes an example of a retry interceptor pattern [MIGRATION_GUIDE.md:L604-L642] that shows how to create retry functionality manually. This example demonstrates:

• Using a response interceptor to catch errors
• Tracking retry attempts with config.__retryCount
• Implementing exponential backoff with Math.pow(2, config.__retryCount - 1)
• Re-executing the request via axios(config) after the delay

The pattern requires you to:

1. Create your own createRetryInterceptor() function
2. Attach it to an axios instance
3. Pass { retry: true } in your request config to enable it per-request

This is a common pattern in axios applications, but it's not a core feature of the library itself. The architecture reflects axios's design philosophy of providing flexibility through interceptors rather than opinionated built-in behaviors.
