Stops message handling on every server concurrently.

**Signature:**

```typescript
stop(): Promise<ClusteredRedisQueue>;
```
**Returns:**

Promise<[ClusteredRedisQueue](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.clusteredredisqueue/)>

this queue instance

## Remarks

Connections are kept and any active subscription is retained, so servers joining afterwards are still subscribed to the remembered channel while remaining stopped. Use [ClusteredRedisQueue.destroy()](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.clusteredredisqueue.destroy/) to tear the connections down.
