1def get_price(item):

2 for _ in range(3):

3 try:

4 return pricing_client.fetch(item) # also retries 3x internally

5 except TransientError:

6 continue

7 raise PricingUnavailable()

9def checkout(cart):

10 return [get_price(i) for i in cart.items] # called by an endpoint that retries 3x

Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
