Payment fail is a social construct 😂 If your wallet retried a payment because the first attempt failed due to insufficient liquidity on the route, was it a failure? It simply hid the error from you and tried another route. So a "true" fail the user sees is simply an arbitrarily defined timeout, most of the time. Or you could've run out of routes which usually takes a lot of time, I'd say hours, from my rebalancing experience. All in all, it varies and I think we should consider every failed attempt as a payment failure even if it almost doesn't affect the UX.
