Hi @kjoshi-rubikloud , unfortunately this is a limit of the Queue Service REST API.

To retrieve the messages you are seeing, we use the peek API. We use peek so we can look at the messages without altering their visibility to other consumers of the queue. Peek only supports peeking at the first 32 messages in the queue though. This is why we only display the first 32.

We'll pass your feedback along to the Queue team though, and if they ever support peeking at more than 32, we'll update to support that.

I agree this is a real limiting factor.

We're going to close this as by design/won't fix due to platform limitations.
