I have a suspicion that the broker has raised channel.flow because it's
run out of memory and is thus preventing you from sending any further
messages. But 887 messages is very low, unless your messages are pretty
big. Also, the stack trace you sent doesn't really indicate this is the
problem. What does rabbit's logs have to say?
