+long: retry-max-time
+Arg: <seconds>
+Help: Retry only within this period
+Added: 7.12.3
+---
+The retry timer is reset before the first transfer attempt. Retries will be
+done as usual (see --retry) as long as the timer hasn't reached this given
+limit. Notice that if the timer hasn't reached the limit, the request will be
+made and while performing, it may take longer than this given time period. To
+limit a single request\'s maximum time, use --max-time. Set this option to
+zero to not timeout retries.
+
+If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
