Optimize controllers for large datasets

**Description**
Currently types lacks proper retry support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable retry with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the controller code and any existing error or retry handling, then check how configuration and defaults are represented. Done means controllers support configurable retries with sensible defaults and the behavior is covered by the relevant checks.
