How to config max retry count in external worker client

1

hi all
I’m new to flowable and in my case i have to use external task worker. i have a config in my client for max retry count that i want my task be retried this number of times in case of technical exception. when i fetch and lock an external task for first time as below i receive default retry count 3. how can i determine if it’s the first time task is fetched ? in Camunda first fetch time will return null count so i can understand it’s the first time and set my own max retry count. and then decrement it each time until it reach 0.
my request is as below:

{
"topic" : "test",
"lockDuration" : "PT10M",
"numberOfTasks" :  1,
"workerId" : "workerId",
"numberOfRetries" :  10
}

and i receive this response from flowable engine:
