When using `retryWhen`, ensure your retry condition eventually becomes false to prevent infinite loops. Typically, you'll use a source Observable that emits a value only when the retry condition is met, and then completes to stop the retries. Carefully consider the logic within your retry condition to avoid continuously retrying on the same error.
