Cannot connect to any rabbitmq cloud service

I was working fine with cloudamqp until all of a sudden wascally/rabbot stopped being able to connect to my endpoint. I have installed RabbitMQ locally and my system works fine. I have since then tried to setup a RabbitMq instance on Heroku via bigwig, to no avail. The endpoints I'm using should be fine and I also installed amqp.node and node-amqp to test if maybe it was a problem with rabbot. However none of these can connect either.

Any idea what the problem can be?

the most common cause is connection timeout. with all my wascally code, hosting on cloudamqp (with heroku, digital ocean or otherwise), i have to set a connection timeout much higher than the default for it to work.

this can be done with the connection_timeout parameter on the connection string url (https://www.rabbitmq.com/uri-query-parameters.html)

for example:

var conn = "amqp://myuser:[email protected]/my-vhost?connection_timeout=30"

this will set a connection timeout of 30 seconds
