  You can implement a retry system like the below function and use that

  async function retryGetAdvice(retries = 3, retryDelay = 2, err = null) {
    if (!retries) {
      return Promise.reject(err);
    }
  
    return fetch(apiUrl, { method: "GET" }).catch(async (error) => {
      if (retryDelay) {
        await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, retryDelay * 1000));
      }
  
      return retryGetAdvice(retries - 1, retryDelay, error);
    });
  }
  

  By default it will retry 3 times after every 2 seconds. You can change that when retryGetAdvice function is being called inside getAdvice function.

  You can find the full script.js file here: Script.js Gist

  One other thing I want to mention is that, I noticed for the loading effect you used a fixed timeout. I don't think that's a ideal solution. Because not every requests will take 1.5 seconds, right? You should try to fix that.

  Hope this helps :)

  Yh, I tried to make it only last as long as the request but on a good connection, the loader barely shows. I'll try to make it wait for the request to succeed or fail, then maybe a little extra delay for when it succeeds very quickly. Also, wouldn't want a user spamming the button, that why I had to implement that loading downtime when the button is disabled. Thanks for your suggestions. Will try them out and update this solution soon @Iamparves

  PS: Thanks to your code and some more reading and trying, I've been able to get this working much better than before. Tell me what you think of it now. If you have the time
