Error when connect database continuously

When I am querying from database in continuous looping, after some time I get an error :

An exception has been raised that is likely due to a transient failure. If you are connecting to a SQL Azure database consider using SqlAzureExecutionStrategy.

Normally it is working fine.

If you are using EF Core configure retry on failure for resilient connections :

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
    optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("your_connection_string", builder =>
        {
            builder.EnableRetryOnFailure(5, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), null);
        });
    base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
}
