This environment variable not documented: https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/env-configuration/
In Sentinel deployments, a very important variable for HA (in terms of allowing time for automatic failover; if down-after-milliseconds is high for sentinel, this value is tuned accordingly, otherwise the service drops during deployments due to can't reconnect with provided scope) would be very helpful if it were added to the documentation in general.

Besides, I know this isn't the right place for this, but we can't specify a delay between retries, and the retries are happening too quickly. It would be great if we could add a delay as a configuration between retries (otherwise, because the retries are happening so fast, if the master drops in Sentinel mode, the service will drop again before a new master is selected).
