Compare full text of the Lizardfolk Hungry Jaws ability: "In battle, you can throw yourself into a vicious feeding frenzy. As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage, and you gain temporary hit points (minimum of 1) equal to your Constitution modifier, and you can’t use this trait again until you finish a short or long rest."
to the summary text on the character sheet: "Once per short rest as a bonus action, you can make a bite attack. If it hits, you gain 2 temporary HP."
I am not sure what the best version is, but the current summary text implies that you can only attempt it once per short rest, but the full text clearly indicates that you can attempt it as often as you want until you get a hit.
My interpretation is that you can attempt the attack until you hit. Such that you don't loose the ability if you miss, but if you hit you can not use the ability again until you rest.

I hope this was helpful. <3
That's what it sounds like, though if you ask me it sounds a LITTLE bit op.
It is fairly unfortunate that many of the snippets have been abridged to the point of inaccuracy. Never trust just the snippets on the character sheets, always tap/click them to bring up the sidebar with full trait or feature description.

I’ve been running mine as one attempt because of that summary.
