Hi all, can someone tell me what the default value is of max_retries if it’s not set on a task?

You can <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/core/task.html#task-2|see> it’s None by default in the constructor, but what then happens it will check the <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/a2025983352d7e152da88358c3e578f3ce73778a/src/prefect/core/task.py#L356|configuration parameter> which in turn is defaulted to 0 if it’s not set.
