Limiting the consumer by the number of messages or number of seconds is not ideal in my use case
we want for the consumer to run for a fixed amount of time, eg 1 hour but we cannot afford to kill the consumer after given time of seconds due to the way we process the items - depending on the traffix we're queuing the messages inside the consumer and we're processing them in batches.
Having the option ACK_TERMINATE will allow us to kill the consumer whenever we want to
