Description

What happened?

Server sends 413 Request Entity Too Large and the client retries it the maximum number of times (4). A socket exception is then propagated to the caller.

What did you want to happen?

The client receives the 413, does not retry, and propagates the Request Entity Too Large exception.

This is an okhttp issue: https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/1001

Research direction

Trace the relevant retry path in the repository, then verify that a 413 is returned without further retries and that the expected exception reaches the caller.
