getting KafkaJSNumberOfRetriesExceeded on custom errors

[yuri-abaev-payu-gpo]

it was said here that that custom Errors do no trigger retry but when throwing some custome error (I called it throw1) I do se retires, and even after default 5 retries I get KafkaJSNumberOfRetriesExceeded

see this log file: txt.txt

also, in this project's source code I do see that a custom Error is treated as retriable.

• which means the custom errors are triggering the retry mechanism as they are retriable
• am i missing something?

Additionally, my question is how can I throw Custom Errors (to not move the offset ) without triggering retry mechanism?

My issue is that I have a retry topic where the msg is being read from, and the msg throws an error, witch restarts the consumer, which makes the msg be re-consumed, which throws an error and so forth,

• what can I do to not trigger the retry? and still keep the consumer connected and not-crashed?
