Cloud Pub&#x2F;Sub engineer here. You can create as many consumers as you want. You can create them offline and bring them up and down whenever you want. Each consumer will receive a full copy of the stream, starting with its sync point (subscriber creation). Each message is delivered, and redelivered, to each consumer until that consumer acks that message.<p>If I understand your point correctly, the only expectation we haven&#x27;t matched is the ability to &quot;go back and start again&quot;. We hear you.
