// This message will be delivered to consumer 10 seconds later.
message.setDelayTimeLevel(3);
// Send the message
producer.send(message);
}
// Shutdown producer after use.
producer.shutdown();
}
}
```
### 3、Verification
You should see messages are consumed about 10 seconds later than their storing time.
### 4、Use scenarios for scheduled messages
For example, in e-commerce, if an order is submitted, a delay message can be sent, and the status of the order can be checked after 1 hour. If the order is still unpaid, the order can be cancelled and the inventory released.
### 5、Restrictions on the use of scheduled messages
Nowadays RocketMq does not support any time delay. It needs to set several fixed delay levels, which correspond to level 1 to 18 from 1s to 2h. Message consumption failure will enter the delay message queue. Message sending time is related to the set delay level and the number of retries.
