Timer-intermediate-transition

I have used a Timer event with timer definition as R100/PT5M and type as CYCLE.
I can see an entry in ACT_RU_JOBDEF with JOB_CONFIGURATION as CYCLE: R100/PT5M.

But when the job gets created in ACT_RU_JOB i see RETRIES as 3 not 100.

Even after successive timer retry i don’t find RETRIES decremented.

What am i doing wrong ?

Or is this an open issue.

Thanks,
Brajesh
