Clearer rules for retries and webhook failures

Two clarifications in the API reference; the API's behaviour is unchanged.

  • Idempotency-Key and 5xx errors. A 5xx releases the key only if nothing was saved. If the work was saved and the request failed afterwards, a retry with the same key replays the saved result, like any success. See Idempotency.
  • Webhook retries. After the last retry (24 hours), the event is marked failed. An endpoint that keeps failing for 3 days is disabled, and the account is emailed.
