If isAuthenticationError is true then why try to connect again? about sqs-consumer HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @sooykoot,

This is a valid issue, although it's worth noting that there should be differentiation between errors for incorrect credentials and misconfigured permissions.

If permissions are invalid, then there should be retries, as this is something that might not be specific to your code and can be fixed without code changes i.e. in the AWS console.

If credentials are incorrect or missing, then we shouldn't retry.

Would be happy to accept a PR for this.

Thinking about this, I don't think this is actually an issue, yes we probably want a retry after an authentication timeout, it also defaults to 10000 and that can be set yourself to be higher, so I don't think this is a huge issue or one to look at.
