Sure, that would be ideal, but that would require even more client side support, right?

<br/>&gt; I'd guess then that users from a hosted RabbitMQ will know that they

<br/>&gt; &gt; &gt; A configurable default channel_max would help a lot! the overwhelming majority of all uses-cases we see use only a handfull of channels anyway. 
<br/>&gt; &gt; 
<br/>&gt; &gt; More research suggests that many clients (including the most popular Java and Ruby ones) will need updating 
<br/>&gt; &gt; to pick a lower configuration value than the server. So this is not something that can be fixed quickly.
