[QUERY] EventHubConsumerClient - exceeded the maximum number of allowed receivers per partition in a consumer group which is 5

Library name and version

com.azure:azure-messaging-eventhubs:5.21.1

Query/Question

How can I manage my receivers per partitions via the SDK? I was developing and accidentally created too many receivers. After doing research, I know that I need to refactor my code to reuse my connection and not create one over and over. But how do I go back and delete the connections I have already made or reuse one that I already made. I cannot continue development because I get the following error:

com.azure.core.amqp.exception.AmqpException: Exceeded the maximum number of allowed receivers per partition in a consumer group which is 5. List of connected receivers

My connection code.
new EventHubClientBuilder().connectionString(connectionString).consumerGroup(EventHubClientBuilder.DEFAULT_CONSUMER_GROUP_NAME).buildAsyncConsumerClient();

Again, I get that I did it wrong, and I will fix my code. But I have not found anywhere in the Azure documentation on how to delete a connection, or reuse a connection with a receiver ID.

Thanks.

Environment

Android, Java.

@2stash My understanding is that you are in a stuck state with regard to the number of receivers per consumer group. Since you're using the default consumer group, you should be able to delete the EventHub and then recreate. This should force a recreate of the default consumer group which should fix your issue.
