Updated help text for the retries counter to provide more clarity on its current scope.

related slack thread in #sig-api-machinery https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/C0EG7JC6T/p1772834493390239

this retry metric is getting incremented for cases where its not a true retry but queue additions with some delay. since changing metric name is a breaking change. thus improved the Help to inform future reader about the scope of this metric.

Hi @viveksb007. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

For me this is a bit of a confusing mixture between Reconciler and Queue wording.

Is this help text accurate both for PriorityQueue and the default queue that is used when PQ is not enabled?

For PriorityQueue the metric is incremented when AddAfter, AddRateLimitied or AddWithOpts (depends on opts) is called
