Laravel database queuing jobs attempts

Question

I implemented a laravel queue with the database driver, in an Ubuntu 14.04 server. I execute this code

php /path to app/artisan queue:listen --tries=3 --env=local

It says tries=3. But when I see the jobs table I see jobs with 22 attempts, how is this possible? it should try 3 times and then add it to failed_jobs table.

Also, what does reserved_at means in the jobs table?.

Thank you

Here is the job that, by the way, it works perfectly

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use App\Jobs\Job;
use App\Notifiers\Im_Notification;
use App\Notifiers\Notification;
use App\Notifiers\Mail_Notification;
use App\Reservation;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class NotifyPlaceReservationStatus extends Job implements ShouldQueue
{
    use InteractsWithQueue, SerializesModels;

/**
 * Create a new job instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected $notification;
protected $reservation;
protected $info_changed;

public function __construct(Notification $notification,Reservation $reservation)
{
    $this->reservation = $reservation;
    $this->notification = $notification;
}

/**
 * Execute the job.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function handle()
{
    $this->notification->notifyPlaceReservationStatus($this->reservation);
}

public function failed()
{
    error_log('Job failed');
}
}

You should show the job it self. The problem might lie there. — Mihkel Allorg

When you provide the number of tries in the CLI, Laravel worker is going to apply the tries limit only for those jobs currently in the queue (or in your unexecuted job table if you prefer). In order to make every execution of a job have a try limit, you should put a public $tries attribute in your Job class as stated in the Laravel documentation on Dispatching Jobs (for Laravel 5.4)

public $tries = 3;
protected $notification;
protected $reservation;
protected $info_changed;
