Optimize data for large datasets

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

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

**Priority**: Low/Medium

Start by locating the authentication flow and checking how failed requests are currently handled; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Define configurable retry behavior and sensible defaults, then verify that authentication retries work as intended without breaking existing behavior.
