One of your queues has not seen any activity in the last three days.
It is good practice to remove unused queues entirely. If left unaddressed, they can be a security threat and leave your system open for exploitation.
Check if it’s okay that this queue didn’t have an activity or if something is wrong here. If the queue has been forgotten, you should delete it.
