Add rate limiting for timeout

**Feature request**
It would be great to have retry for api.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_retry` with default `false`.

Start by locating the API request path and configuration handling, since the issue names no files or tests. Resolve whether the requested behavior is timeout rate limiting or API retries, then define how `enable_retry` behaves with its default set to `false`; the issue is done when that scope and its verification are clear.
