best effort
All you've got
Best effort describes an attempt that uses all available resources without guaranteeing success.
In contracts and service agreements, best effort (or best efforts) commits a party to try diligently rather than promise a specific outcome: The seller will use best efforts to deliver by Friday.
In networking, best-effort delivery means data packets are transmitted without priority or reliability guarantees—they may arrive late, out of order, or not at all.
