How to work with GDDRESCUE correctly?

Good afternoon.
For the first time I decided to use the gddrescue utility.
I have a broken, but not dead (checked by the photorec utility, which finds a lot) usb-hdd and the goal is to create its RAW image.
Google suggested that the command ddrescue --force --direct --retrim would suit me. plus there it was also recommended to add “-max-retries = 3”, but with this additional command I got an error saying that this parameter does not exist.
And for a week now I've been murozhu this disc. So everything is long. Yes.
The disk is terabyte and the progress is shown in this screenshot.

Am I doing everything right? Should I expect, with the zeros that are displayed there (on the screen) and the zero size of the out-file (if you look in the explorer), that at the end of this process I will receive the coveted terabyte file?
