Spring amqp stop endless retrying loop, if rabbitmq service is not working - spring-amqp

Question

I'm having trouble with stopping infinite retrying when rabbitmq server is down. I tried using this code snippet
#Bean(name = "rabbitListenerContainerFactory")
public SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory simpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory(
SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer,
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory();
configurer.configure(factory, connectionFactory);
BackOff recoveryBackOff = new FixedBackOff(5000, 1);
factory.setRecoveryBackOff(recoveryBackOff);
return factory;
}
But I am still getting endless loop of retrying

What I am trying to achieve, is that after one attempt of connecting, stop trying
Edit 1
I have my whole consumer side config here, I can't seem to find where another configurable container factory could be. The thing is, if I have fixed back off at for example 3000 ms, the message changes to Recovering consumer in 3000 ms.
#Configuration
#EnableRabbit
#AllArgsConstructor
public class RabbitConfig {
#Bean
public MessageConverter jsonMessageConverter() {
ObjectMapper jsonObjectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
jsonObjectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
return new Jackson2JsonMessageConverter(jsonObjectMapper);
}
#Bean
public RabbitErrorHandler rabbitExceptionHandler() {
return new RabbitErrorHandler();
}
#Bean(name = "rabbitListenerContainerFactory")
public SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory simpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory(
SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer,
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory factory = new SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory();
configurer.configure(factory, connectionFactory);
BackOff recoveryBackOff = new FixedBackOff(5000, 1);
factory.setRecoveryBackOff(recoveryBackOff);
return factory;
}
}
I'm using version 2.1.7

I just copied your code and it worked as expected:

I see you have
stopping container - restart recovery attempts exhausted
too.
Perhaps the listener that keeps trying is from a different container factory?
Recovering consumer in 5000 ms.
