The initial user input is transmitted to a server for processing the initial user input. One or more additional user inputs are received after the server has begun processing the initial user input. Statistical analysis techniques are utilized to determine a selection attempt value. The selection attempt value is compared to a predetermined retry rate criteria. The selection attempt value is determined to satisfy a threshold. An action is performed in response to determining that the selection attempt value satisfies the threshold.
