 ### Enable Auto-Retry with Exponential Backoff
 
-`twilio-node` supports automatic retry with exponential backoff when API requests receive an [Error 429 response](https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044308153-Twilio-API-response-Error-429-Too-Many-Requests-). This retry with exponential backoff feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, instantiate the Twilio client with the `autoRetry` flag set to `true`.
+`twilio-node` supports automatic retry with exponential backoff when API requests receive an [Error 429 response](https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044308153-Twilio-API-response-Error-429-Too-Many-Requests-) or encounter network errors (such as `ECONNRESET`, `ETIMEDOUT`, or `ECONNABORTED`). This retry with exponential backoff feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, instantiate the Twilio client with the `autoRetry` flag set to `true`.
 
 Optionally, the maximum number of retries performed by this feature can be set with the `maxRetries` flag. The default maximum number of retries is `3`.
