What causes most Laravel queue failures?

Model deletions mid-queue (40% cases), API timeouts (30%), resource exhaustion (20%). Payload inspection reveals all.

How do you retry failed Laravel jobs?

php artisan queue:retry or queue:retry all. Inspect payloads first to avoid loops.

Does Laravel lose queue messages on failure?

No—if failed_jobs table's set. Use DeleteWhenMissingModels to auto-prune junk.
