From the docs here

Pod is running and has two Containers. Container 1 exits with failure.

  1. Log failure event.

  2. If restartPolicy is:

    • Always: Restart Container; Pod phase stays Running.
    • OnFailure: Restart Container; Pod phase stays Running.
    • Never: Do not restart Container; Pod phase stays Running

So pod is not restarted or the other container is not restarted , only the exited container is restarted based on the restartPolicy
