[rabbitmq-discuss] Redeliver limit?

I got a response to this via email - I'm not sure why I didn't show up

There is no limit at the time of writing. A message that is redelivered
too often could be recognised and dead-lettered by the broker, but
RabbitMQ does not yet implement this feature. Toxic message handling is
a planned feature. See reference "basic / deliver / 01" on this page:
