Change missing from changelog for 3.8.15

[Katie Chapman]

Hi all,

We recently ran into a strange issue recently with a queue where our consumers became very slow at processing messages and then we noticed that our consumers started disconnecting.

It looks like there was a change to the defaults for the consumer_timeout that was only mentioned in relation to quorum queues, however this change seems to apply to all queues. It was introduced by this PR - https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/pull/2990

Can anyone tell me is my understanding of this correct?

Thanks,

Katie.

Hi,

Correct this setting affects all queue types as it is a channel level timeout. There will be a longer default and more documentation in the next release.

Cheers

Karl
