A 500 error might be repeatable (server misconfiguration) or it might be
transient (temporarily out of DB connections due to high load). In either
case, chef-client/knife use an exponential retry mechanism with splay (same
general idea as ethernet collisions), going through all 5 retries will take
at least a minute (usually longer). So it’s not usually an issue, but it’s
something the user should be made aware of, so they don’t need to wait 1-2
minutes for feedback in the case of a persistent error.
