After a publisher flushes a batch of messages the batch is (obviously) not received immediately by the service. While the batch remains pending it potentially consumes memory resources in the client (and/or the service).
Some applications may have constraints on the number of bytes and/or messages they can tolerate in this pending state, and may prefer to block or reject messages.
