# Configure API fault handling

To specify how the module handles Experience Edge API errors, use the following settings:

- To specify the maximum number of times to retry an operation after transient faults, use the `ExperienceEdge.DeliveryEndpoint.TransientFailureRetryCount` setting.
- To specify the amount of time to wait before an operation that led to a transient fault should be retried, use the `ExperienceEdge.DeliveryEndpoint.TransientFailureSleepTime` setting.
- To specify the maximum number of connection attempts before the endpoint is marked unavailable and fails subsequent operations immediately, use the `ExperienceEdge.DeliveryEndpoint.CircuitBreakerAttemptsBeforeBreak` setting.
- To specify the amount of time to wait before testing the unavailable endpoint connectivity status, use the `ExperienceEdge.DeliveryEndpoint.CircuitBreakerDurationOfBreak` setting.
