```

This example demonstrates a basic `RecoveryPlanner` class with the capability to handle and recover from errors in an operation. The `example_task` function simulates a situation where there's an 80% chance of success, which would be handled by the planner without issues. If the task fails more than the allowed retries, it will eventually give up and report failure.
