MQTT subscribe retrieves no data back after immediate reply

Dear Sirs,

I am student in university, new in MQTT, used MQTTlens and MQTT.fx as the client.

Used them to subscribe the public channel "1293177", the channel publish weather data frequently.

But, only got the first record immediately after subscribe, and no more.

If subscribe again, will got the same record again.

I follow the article at https://www.mathworks.com/help/thingspeak/troubleshoot-MQTT-subscribe.html and without mismatch.

Would you kindly help to figure out the problem is?

Do you have multiple clients connected using the same ClientID?

How many concurrent MQTTFx clients do you have using the same MQTT API Key?

One, only one client at the same time. The purpose is to experience about the subscribe effect. Unfortunately, it not work.

I just tested the workflow with MQTT.fx and it works fine. Some points to remember:

1) When setting up the connection, set the "Password" to the "MQTT API Key" from your ThingSpeak profile page

2) When subscribing to a channel, the topic must be: channels/<CHANNEL_ID>/subscribe/json/<CHANNEL_READ_API_KEY>

3) Now publish "field1=45" to this channel using this topic: channels/<CHANNEL_ID>/publish/<CHANNEL_WRITE_API_KEY>

For every publish at 15s or slower (with a free license) you should also see that a subscribe message is received.

Dear Vinod,

Thanks for your suggestion. Since all checked before my issue. Not only MQTT.fx but also MQTTLens are the same. Got the first record immediately, may be the LWT by channel "1293177".

Can you share screenshots of the mqttfx application with your settings. Clearly some misconfiguration as it works perfectly fine for me.
