Description

I integrated this extension into our system and it works great, thanks!

Now my users' appetite has been stimulated, and they are asking for the ability to stop retrying based on a time interval rather than a test count, in case a test is too time consuming when it fails.

This would be similar to the robotframework built-in [Wait Until Keyword Succeeds](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/BuiltIn.html#Wait%20Until%20Keyword%20Succeeds) keyword

Research direction

Start by reading the repository's retry listener and its existing count-based retry option, then compare the requested timer behavior with Robot Framework's Wait Until Keyword Succeeds documentation. Done means users can select a time-based retry limit instead of a test-count limit, with behavior covered by the project's existing tests.
