Description
### The required feature described as a wish
We are facing a problem with recurring snapshots for volumes. When a recurring snapshot job fails, ACS keeps making endless retry attempts.
The user does not receive any notifications when a recurring snapshot job fails. Only repeated retry attempts to create the snapshot are observed.
In our test case, we reproduced the issue with an error:
```
Error while creating entity for allocating snapshot
```
It would be good to have the ability to configure:
- the of retry attempts
- the interval between retries
To avoid an infinite snapshot creation loop that ends with an error. After the maximum number of retries is exhausted, a notification should be sent informing that the job has failed.

Research direction
No files or tests are identified in the issue. Begin by tracing the recurring snapshot job and its existing retry and notification paths, then identify the configuration entry points; done means bounded, configurable retries, a retry interval, and a failure notification after exhaustion.
