Outgoing publish message was dropped. Receiving client: test-client, topic: test/topic, qos: 0, reason: The tcp socket was not writable.

What is the reason why this message had been dropped and What can be done to overcome this issue?

I have replaced the client name cause it is confidential. but when checked in control center, I am not able find any trace of the that client.

What does this receiving client mean and what could be the reason for it ?

Hi @Nirmal,

> Outgoing publish message was dropped. Receiving client: test-client, topic: test/topic, qos: 0, reason: The tcp socket was not writable.

This indicates that your client “test-client” isn’t fast enough to keep up with the amount of QoS 0 messages being sent to it.

For the reason why you didn’t see the client in the CC, maybe you need to update the Client snapshot / Dropped messages table.

I redirect you to another post when you want to find out how to fix mitigate this: [Qos 0 channel not writable](https://community.hivemq.com/t/qos-0-channel-not-writable/1499)
