We are in the process of migrating from pega version 7.1.9 to 8.8.3. And we use external Kafka service from within our organization.

And the cost is calculated per topics per partition.

We don't have any custom queue processors and I can see that for most of the kafka topics, messages are empty other than few standard ones.

Do we have an option to stop creating these topics that we don't use. (For example, like disabling the QPs behind these topics). This will help us to reduce the costs.
