 Quorum queues now have a default [redelivery limit](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/next/quorum-queues#poison-message-handling) set to `20`.
 Messages that are redelivered 20 times or more will be [dead-lettered](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/dlx) or dropped (removed).

+This limit is necessary to protect nodes from consumers that run into infinite fail-requeue-fail-requeue loops. Such
 consumers can drive a node out of disk space by making a quorum queue Raft log grow forever without allowing compaction
 of older entries.
 
 If 20 deliveries per message is a common scenario for a queue, a dead-lettering target must be configured
 for such queues. The recommended way of doing that is via a [policy](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/parameters#policies).
 
+The limit can be [increased](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/next/quorum-queues#poison-message-handling) using a policy.

 In environments where messages can experience 20 redeliveries, the affected queues should have [dead lettering](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/dlx)
 configured (usually via a [policy](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/parameters#policies)) to make sure
 that messages that are redelivered 20 times are moved to a separate queue (or stream) instead of
 being dropped (removed) by the [crash-requeue-redelivery loop protection mechanism](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/next/quorum-queues#poison-message-handling).
