Axios Interceptor to delay and retry original request for certain status code (polling)

gistfile1.txt

import axios from 'axios';

const instance = axios.create({
    baseURL: 'http://localhost:5000'
});

const sleepRequest = (milliseconds, originalRequest) => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => resolve(instance(originalRequest)), milliseconds);
    });
};

instance.interceptors.response.use(response => {
    return response;
}, error => {
    const { config, response: { status }} = error;
    const originalRequest = config;

    if (status === 420) {
        return sleepRequest(1000, originalRequest);
    } else {
        return Promise.reject(error);
    }
});

export default instance;

How would I use this in the response branch rather than in the error branch? If I check the response for a status like 202 und use the seelRequest function it gives me an Error that the response can't be a Promise or so. I've tried it like this but it does not work, seems to run forever. Any idea?
axiosInstance.interceptors.response.use(
(response) => {
if (
response.status === 202 &&
response.data.pending &&
retryCounter > 0
) {
const { config } = response;
const originalConfig = config;
const waitTime = response.headers['x-retry-after'] * 1000 || 1000;
return new Promise((resolve) => {
const reqTimeOut = setTimeout(() => {
setRetryCounter((ctr) => ctr - 1);
axiosInstance.request(originalConfig).then(resolve);
}, waitTime);
clearTimeout(reqTimeOut);
});
}
return response;
},
(error) => {
return Promise.reject(error);
}
);
