How long did the Sora SD go? Did they push into the retry/DLQ territory or stay at high level?

Went full 60 minutes. We got into exponential backoff, dead letter queue, and what happens when a worker terminates at 90% completion specifically.

Which team are you targeting? Infra or something else?

Platform infra / reliability. Fits my background.

The Sora SD being essentially a job scheduler wrapper is real. People overthink the video generation side of it.

Good luck. The Tue/Thu debrief thing is accurate. Usually hear back end of week.
