## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are
provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) or by environment variables (`INFLUX_HOST`, `INFLUX_ORG`, and `INFLUX_TOKEN`).
If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

* `--host`: [InfluxDB host](/influxdb/cloud/reference/urls/)
* `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
* `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

#### Required permissions

Use an [**All Access** token](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/) to retry failed tasks.

* [Retry failed task runs that occurred before a specific time](#retry-failed-task-runs-that-occurred-before-a-specific-time)
* [Retry failed task runs that occurred after a specific time](#retry-failed-task-runs-that-occurred-after-a-specific-time)
* [Retry failed task runs that occurred in a specific time range](#retry-failed-task-runs-that-occurred-in-a-specific-time-range)

* [Print information about runs that will be retried](#print-information-about-runs-that-will-be-retried)

##### Retry failed task runs for a specific task ID

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1
```

##### Retry failed task runs that occurred before a specific time

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --before 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
```

##### Retry failed task runs that occurred after a specific time

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --after 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
```

##### Retry failed task runs that occurred in a specific time range

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --after 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z \
  --before 2021-01-01T23:59:59Z
```

##### Retry failed runs for a limited number of tasks

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --task-limit 5
```

##### Retry a limited number of failed runs for a task

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1 \
  --run-limit 5
```

##### Print information about runs that will be retried

```sh
influx task retry-failed \
  --dry-run
```
