The Resilience4j Aspects order is the following:
Retry ( CircuitBreaker ( RateLimiter ( TimeLimiter ( Bulkhead ( Function ) ) ) ) )
so Retry is applied at the end (if needed).
If you need a different order, you must use the functional chaining style instead of the Spring annotations style or explicitly set aspect order using the following properties:

- resilience4j.retry.retryAspectOrder
- resilience4j.circuitbreaker.circuitBreakerAspectOrder
- resilience4j.ratelimiter.rateLimiterAspectOrder
- resilience4j.timelimiter.timeLimiterAspectOrder
- resilience4j.bulkhead.bulkheadAspectOrder

For example – to make Circuit Breaker starts after Retry finish its work you must set retryAspectOrder property to greater value than circuitBreakerAspectOrder value (the higher value = the higher priority).

resilience4j:
  circuitbreaker:
    circuitBreakerAspectOrder: 1
  retry:
    retryAspectOrder: 2
