Hi Justin, Thanks for the doc pointer. I tried that but still evaluating the results. We have plans to go to 2.42.0 and beyond, but getting a customer to stay current with our SW release which uses the Artemis broker can be a challenge. I was reading this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77680963/timeouts-with-lots-of-mqtt-connections-to-activemq-artemis and it mentions that “When the broker is created it performs a load calculation on the disk to determine the value for journal-buffer-timeout in broker.xml” I can’t seem to find that value in the broker.xml file? We are using ArtemisCloud.io containers in a Kubernetes cluster so that may not be happening?

The only way to eliminate them completely is to upgrade to 2.42.0. Justin On Tue, Sep 16, 2025 at 2:10 PM Justin Bertram <[email protected]> wrote: > The recommended solution is to upgrade to 2.42.0.
