In the CF6, for example, Autostart wil retry a start without intervention if it does not get lightoff in a certain time. In many cases it turns off the fuel without disengaging the starter, keeping the engine motoring. Then fuel and ignition are re-introduced. These 3 attempts without manual intervention would be 1 cycle.
