 Now, only a single retry delay needs to be greater than the consumer's `max.poll.interval.ms` property.
 
+When working with several binders, the 'ListenerContainerWithDlqAndRetryCustomizer' bean gets overridden by the 'DefaultBinderFactory'. For the bean
+to apply, you need to use a 'BinderCustomizer' to set the container customizer (See <<binder-customizer>>):
