Log message "NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 1st time" shown multiple times (counter is not working?)

Version: 12.1.0
Platform: Gradle plugin

I run the following on my project:

dependencyCheckAggregate --info

Example from the log:

> Task :usb-ktx:dependencyCheckAggregate
Downloaded 110 000/284 351 (39%)
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 1st time
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 1st time
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 1st time
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 1st time

Is the counter working? I would expect:

NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 1st time
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 2nd time
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 3rd time
NVD API request failures are occurring; retrying request for the 4th time

I would suggest using an NVD API key.

Consider setting up or using a mirror of the NVD data: https://dependency-check.github.io/DependencyCheck/data/mirrornvd.html

Also, note that there are several requests - each could be retried and each would have their own counter starting at 1.
