I agree with you now actually. I think the issue will be better once
we've limited our retry mechanism. I'll monitor the KPI, see the impact,
and I'll mark this bug as invalid.

Title:
Consider making the systemd restrictions of the autopkgtest@.service
files more liberal
Status in Auto Package Testing:
Invalid
Bug description:
Currently, our restrictions are as follows:
RestartSec=5min
Restart=on-failure
StartLimitInterval=10m
StartLimitBurst=3

fix: cloud-worker: Amend restart limitations for autopkgtest@*.service
We've been having issues with having to manually restart workers when
they fail. This happens because they previously would hit stringent
Restart
restrictions (StartLimitBurst, StartLimitInterval). It's best for us if
those restrictions aren't as stringent and allow the autopkgtest@
services to restart themselves more frequently.
They were:
RestartSec=5min
Restart=on-failure
StartLimitInterval=1h
StartLimitBurst=3
I think we can get a bit more liberal with these restrictions. Maybe
bringing down the RestartSec and increasing the StartLimitBurst. I
think, in the occasion where we have flaky infra, where some tests are
passing and some are failing, it'd help our throughput. And since
there's no documented reason why the worker services ever had these
restrictions, I think we can safely go ahead and do this.
