You can enable [ackTimeout](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/branch-3.0/pulsar-client-api/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/client/api/ConsumerBuilder.java#L200) on the consumer. Once the consumer returns a message from the receive method, the countdown starts. A background [task](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/branch-3.0/pulsar-client/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/client/impl/UnAckedMessageTracker.java) runs periodically to redeliver messages that exceed the ackTimeout. For an instance: the application thread which processing message may get stuck on deadlock or other issues, thus it may have no chance to call negativeAck to redeliver this message to other consumer. Yeah, depending on client is not full reliable for these cases. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
