This topic introduces the feature release updates for each version of Message Queue for RocketMQ. New features will be gradually released across all regions.
May 2026
Function Name | Function description | Release Date | Publishing region | Related topic |
Added 5.x Basic Edition instance specifications | The 5.x version instance specifications are divided into Basic and Professional editions. The main difference is that the Professional edition supports elastic TPS functionality. | 2026-05-13 | All Regions | |
5.x Professional Edition instances support elastic TPS | Elastic TPS is suitable for business scenarios with occasional traffic bursts or sudden short-term load spikes. It can automatically scale resources and temporarily increase message processing capacity without blindly upgrading computation specifications for peak traffic, helping users effectively reduce operational costs. | 2026-05-13 | All Regions |
December 2025
Function Name | Function description | Release Date | Publishing region | Related topic |
Maintainable time period | Added the maintenance window feature. The default maintenance window for the instance is Monday to Thursday from 21:00 to 23:59. You can also customize the maintenance window based on your business traffic patterns. | 2025-12-01 | All Regions | |
Add API interface | Add the following interfaces:

Function Name | Function description | Publishing region | Related topic |
Optimize the configuration for Topic Queue | When setting the number of Topic queues in 5.x version instances, queue count does not impact performance in non-sequential scenarios. Additional queues are only used to improve concurrency in sequential consumption.
| All Regions | |
Optimize API interface | Optimize the ModifyInstanceAttributes API to allow modifying the read/write TPS ratio for version 5.x instances | All Regions |
August 2024
Function Name | Function description | Publishing region | Related topic |
Risk inspection | Risk inspection provides inspection capabilities for clusters, topics, and groups. After enabling the risk inspection feature, the system will periodically execute a series of predefined inspection rules to detect potential risks in the instance and provide recommendations, helping users address potential operational risks. | All Regions | |
Instance throttling | RocketMQ instances support rate limiting. When the instance reaches the TPS limit, it rejects requests from producers and consumers. The broker maintains a certain level of utilization to prevent issues such as message backlog, consumption timeouts, and frequent JVM GC caused by 100% resource usage. | All Regions | None |
Edit TPS ratio | After the instance is created, throttling is set equally at 50% each for sending and receiving messages by default. You can adjust the TPS allocation based on business needs to control the throttling quota for sending and subscribing to messages. tip Only RocketMQ 5.x instances support adjusting the TPS allocation. | All Regions |

Message trace | The 5.x version instances support message tracing by default. You do not need to add configurations on the producer and consumer clients; you can view message traces directly in the console. | All Regions | |
Disable ACL authentication | RocketMQ instances enable ACL access control by default, allowing you to manage access and permissions at the Topic resource level using keys. To enable password-free access within the same VPC, you can disable ACL authentication. tip Disabling ACL authentication is currently available only by allowlist. To use this feature, contact technical support to request access. | All Regions |
