Would making it possible to retry indefinitely be a viable solution for you? The documentation can of course be updated along with this.

> I have just experienced a “situation”. I have converted my SIP configuration to PJSIP months ago. Everything was working fine until a few days ago, when one of the providers experienced problems. Their system was reachable to “ping”, but registrations were not working, so after some time Asterisk gave up on it with Maximum retries reached when attempting outbound registration to ‘sip:10.x.x.x’ with client ‘sip:xxxx at domain.com’, stopping registration attempt", so after provider fixed its problems, Asterisk did not register to it until I reloaded the config.
> Default value of “max_retries” is 20, which is probably OK for testing, but should be much higher in production. I am not suggesting that you should change the default, but it might be good to add a bit more description here https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+16+Configuration_res_pjsip_outbound_registration, and also in sample config file, like to set it to 1000000 (one million) (0 does NOT work as 'unlimited' but as NO retries, tested)
> Thank you and best regards
