'Is there a way to manually retry a HelmRelease for FluxCD HelmOperator?

I was just reading https://docs.fluxcd.io/projects/helm-operator/en/stable/helmrelease-guide/debugging/#manually-performing-a-release-to-debug as well as the FAQ, but couldn't figure out how to trigger a retry of a HelmRelease.

My workaround was to commit an insignificant change to the watched release repository just to get helmoperator to pick up a diff. Is there a better way?

To force a HelmRelease reconciliation, you could use a combination of the suspend and resume commands.

flux suspend hr my-helmrelease -n myhelmrelease-ns

? suspending helmreleases my-helmrelease in myhelmrelease-ns namespace
? helmreleases suspended

flux resume hr my-helmrelease -n myhelmrelease-ns

? resuming helmreleases my-helmrelease in my-helmrelease-ns namespace
? helmreleases resumed
? waiting for HelmRelease reconciliation
