I have multiple api calls in my scenario and I set up breaks after each one to repeat the call three times in case of a timeout error. However, it doesn’t seem to work unless I change the scenario settings to sequential in which case I’m only running one instance of the scenario at a time. I know I’m doing something wrong. Please help.
