"has been attempted too many times"

I have a job sitting in Horizon's "Failed Jobs" page. It says it "has been attempted too many times", but what's the real reason it failed the first time? How do I find the original reason it failed?

Oh, and it didn't even fail. It completed successfully.

I'm confused. Does anybody have answers? Thanks.

Go to the specific job entry in Horizon and look at the job logs or output, you should find the answer there

@cosmic_learning I did go to the job entry in Horizon. It said, "has been attempted too many times." That's the problem. The log says the same thing.

Well, I just upgraded Horizon from 5.23 to 5.28 and deleted all the failed jobs, and it seems to be working correctly now. So let's say that fixed it. Thanks.
