I have a strange/critical problem on our production system with ActiveMQ Artemis. It occurs approximately every 1-2 months, and when it occurs it will (re)generate queue items exponentially.
We use ActiveMQ Artemis 2.18.0 with .NET Core 3.1 with Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ.NetStd 1.8.0 and Apache.NMS.AMQP 1.8.1.
When we receive a notification from the queue and if the request is
temporarily not-processable, we re-queue the item with
_AMQ_SCHED_DELIVERY so that the re-delivery will be
performed later. We set the _AMQ_SCHED_DELIVERY manually rather than letting the broker deal with redelivery automatically with a redelivery delay because we want to redeliver message only on specific occasions (e.g. when payment provider answers that we should wait and retry later).
In these situations we somehow receive two or three notification in parallel (we have log a entry when we receive a queue notification). At the end the queue will be filled with the (re)queued items, and we would need to shutdown ActiveMQ Artemis and empty the queue items manually.
Does anyone have same (or similar) symptoms (and hopefully solved already)?
Message is sent with 'transaction' and as soon as message is received,
we call message.acknowledge() and then session.commit().
The queue is created on-the-fly (i.e. not configured in broker.xml).
Here is broker.xml:

Consumer Code (Simplified)
consumer.Listener += this.OnReceive;
private void OnReceive(IMessage message)
{
var textMessage = message as ITextMessage;
message.Acknowledge();
this.Session.Commit();
// here comes the real logic for handling the request.
