How to set retry count for Sidekiq with ActiveJob?

Question

From the Rails API, I found ActiveJob can retry_job interval:

my_job_instance.enqueue
my_job_instance.enqueue wait: 5.minutes
my_job_instance.enqueue queue: :imp

You also might be interested in this solution which uses serialize and deserialize api to store the number of attempts.

class DeliverWebhookJob < ActiveJob::Base
  def serialize
    super.merge('attempt_number' => (@attempt_number || 0) + 1)
  end

  def deserialize(job_data)
    super
    @attempt_number = job_data['attempt_number']
  end

  rescue_from(ErrorLoadingSite) do |exception|
    retry_job(wait: 10) if @attempt_number < 5
  end

  def perform(*args)
    # raise ErrorLoadingSite if cannot scrape
  end
end

Take it from here.
