Streaming Dataflows has exponential retry functionality, can we tailor the no. of retries?

Dear Google Cloud Support,

I'm utilizing Streaming Dataflow and appreciate the built-in exponential retry functionality. However, my current use case requires more granular control over retries.Is it possible to customize the number of retries on a per-job or even per-error basis? I've explored workarounds like custom error handling, but the approach I have tried is not ideal.Please advise if there are options for tailoring the no of entries for Streaming Dataflow's retry behavior.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Note: The Dataflow service retries failed tasks up to 4 times in batch mode, and an unlimited number of times in streaming mode. In batch mode, your job fails; in streaming mode, it might stall indefinitely.

I see this related note for your use case, It might be a good idea to file this as Feature Request for the product:
