Is there a time limit for scheduled messages in Azure Service Bus?

Question

Looking at the Azure Service Bus documentation we can see that it is possible to schedule messages:

Schedule a message We can schedule a message to be enqueued at a later time. The message won't be able to be received until that time, though it can still be peeked before that. We get back the message sequence number which can be used to cancel the scheduled message.

  long seq = await sender.ScheduleMessageAsync(     message,     DateTimeOffset.Now.AddDays(1));

You can also schedule a message by setting the ScheduledEnqueueTime property on the message and using the SendMessageAsync or SendMessagesAsync methods. The difference is that you won't get back the sequence number when using these methods so you would need to peek the message to get the sequence number if you wanted to cancel the scheduled message.

Is there a time limit in which we can schedule a message? for example DateTimeOffset.Now.AddMonths(6) aur DateTimeOffset.Now.Add Month(12) is it possible?

Answer 1

Hi @Nathã Azevedo , I understand you want to know the maximum time you can set for schedules messages in Azure Service Bus.

Looking at these 2 entries in GitHub issues:

1. https://github.com/Azure/azure-service-bus-go/issues/103
2. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/67357

I can conclude that there is no limit from server side.
