Research direction

Start with the orchestration retry flow for RetryCreateSupportTicketActivity and the Service Bus timer events shown in the issue. Review how retry attempts and timer messages are scheduled and consumed, then compare the logs with the expected nine attempts. Done means the cause of the two stuck orchestrations is identified and retry completion behavior is verified.

Description

Hello, I'm trying to get a better understanding why these two orchestration are not completing their activity retries. The orchestrations are scheduled for 9 total retries of the RetryCreateSupportTicketActivity, but the logs are only showing that this activity has tried 6 times. The 9 retries are supposed to take ~9 hours to complete, but it looks like the last attempt was made on 1/25 19:03:32

Here's what were seeing in Service Bus. There are two timer events corresponding to the orchestrations. They look to be stuck.
