# write\_deadline

Hot Reloadable

The reload is accepted and logged, but existing connections keep the deadline they were created with. Only connections established after the reload use the new value.

Maximum number of seconds the server will block when writing. Once this threshold is exceeded the connection will be closed. See slow consumer on how to deal with this on the client.
