Alex Hall e06f0bc1d8 (core) Retry flaky daily API usage test
Summary: This particular test fails often enough to be annoying but not often enough to be worrying. It's not clear why, but it seems like a race condition involving redis. Fixing the test 'properly' seems hard and not worth the effort. Looking at the past 20 Jenkins builds, I found this test failing once. If we assume that the probability of failing is 1/20 (it's probably less since the test actually runs 3 times with different server configurations) then the probability of failing 3 times independently is (1/20)^3 = 1/8000, so `this.retry(3)` seems like a good enough solution.

Test Plan: Manually made the test fail randomly 90% of the time, in which case `this.retries(3)` was not usually enough to prevent failures, but `this.retries(300)` was.
