Correct. channel_max is a setting negotiated between client and server to determine
how many channels are allowed per connection. There is a respective RabbitMQ config
option in the recent versions.

You rarely need to modify it. Some clients even force a limit of 65,536 channels.
I've never seen a legitimate reason to use more channels than that.
