The following connection and channel limits are applied per node:
| Instance Type | Connections | Channels |
|---|---|---|
| m5.large | 5000 | 15,000 |

| m5.4xlarge | 40,000 | 120,000 |
The exact limit values for a cluster broker may be lower than the indicated value depending on the number of available nodes and how RabbitMQ distributes resources among the available nodes. If you exceed the limit values, you can create a new connection to a different node and try again, or you can upgrade the instance size to increase the maximum limits
Error messages
The following error messages are returned when limits are exceeded.
All values are based on the m7.large single instance limits.
Note
The error codes for the following messages may change based on the client library you are using.
Connection
ConnectionClosedByBroker 500 "NOT_ALLOWED - connection refused: node connection limit (5000) is reached"
Channel
ConnectionClosedByBroker 1500 "NOT_ALLOWED - number of channels opened on node
'rabbit@ip-10-0-23-173.us-west-2.compute.internal' has reached the maximum allowed limit of (15,000)"
Consumer
ConnectionClosedByBroker: (530, 'NOT_ALLOWED - reached maximum (1,000) of consumers per channel')
Maximum message size
(406, 'PRECONDITION_FAILED - message size 524289 is larger than configured max size 524288')
Exchange
(406, "PRECONDITION_FAILED - cannot declare exchange 'limit_test_3' in vhost '/': exchange limit of 10 is reached")
Note
The following error messages use the HTTP Management API format.
Queue
{"error":"bad_request","reason":"cannot declare queue 'my_queue': queue limit in cluster (10,000) is reached"}]
Shovel
{"error":"bad_request","reason":"Validation failed\n\ncomponent shovel is limited to 150 per node\n"}
