    Status: Open => Answered

Sidnei da Silva proposed the following answer:
Yes, if there's a timestamp in the message to be written out to the
whisper file, it does not matter if it's delayed.

I suspect what's happening is:

- Lots of metrics get queued in rabbitmq
- You've set a maximum number of messages to be queue on carbon
- When carbon reconnects to rabbitmq, it picks up all queued messages
- The carbon queue overflows
- Metrics that don't fit in carbon's queue get dropped on the floor
