stopping/pausing AWS SQS listener

[springnirps]

I'm using spring cloud aws messaging dependency.

I have a @SQSListerner that is consume messages. I need to be able to stop consuming of messages from SQS if I detect my backend is unavailable to process the messages.

I've tried autowiring SimpleMessageListenerContainer and calling the stop method but this is producing a timeout exception. I am probably using this wrong. What is best practice to stop/pause consuming of SQS message to where I can later start consuming them again when my backend is available again.

Thanks.

Calling stop on SimpleMessageListenerContainer should be the way to go. Can you check what value is set for SimpleMessageListenerContainer#queueStopTimeout?
