Question: When a Charging Data Request times out for a Consumer CHF without an alternative producer CHF, what approach(es) can the Consumer CHF use for application-level failure handling based on previous producer CHF instructions or operator agreement?
Option 1: terminate, continue, retry_and_terminate
Option 2: retry_only, ignore_failure, escalate_to_operator
Option 3: pause_charging_session, notify_producer_CHF, restart_request
Option 4: abort_session_immediately, log_error_only, no_further_action
Explanation: According to telecom network resilience and reliability practices, when a Charging Data Request times out without an alternative producer CHF, the Consumer CHF can employ application-level failure handling strategies including terminating the request, continuing with an alternative approach if possible, or retrying the request with the option to terminate if unsuccessful (retry_and_terminate), ensuring service continuity in 5G system charging management.
