- use a `from()` range 2-3 times as long as the `aggregateWindow()` so if a task run fails, it will recover the downsampled period the following task run

The issue mentions the `influx task retry-failed` CLI command, the `_tasks` bucket, and the `/tasks/.../retry` endpoint. Review these three recovery approaches first and determine which documented behavior or guidance is wanted; the issue does not name a file, test, or specific deliverable.
