Is there a best practice to delay/retry a http call to an external API in a map reduce script? Or do I just use a datetime.now + 5 second in a while loop?

use a delay service like <https://postman-echo.com/delay/10>

Thanks. I was thinking about that too, not postman echo specifically but something similar.

Something else I'm looking at is to reschedule the MapReduce script for a little bit later

its usually easier to reschedule a scheduled script

map/reduce scripts really want to processs all their records before ending
