… skipped The Dramatiq middleware was missing the [`after_skip_message` hook](https://dramatiq.io/reference.html#dramatiq.Middleware.after_skip_message), which is triggered in place of [`after_process_message`](https://dramatiq.io/reference.html#dramatiq.Middleware.after_skip_message) when [`SkipMessage`](https://dramatiq.io/reference.html#dramatiq.middleware.SkipMessage) is raised. Thus, the isolated scope and transaction that are opened in [`before_process_message`](https://dramatiq.io/reference.html#dramatiq.Middleware.before_process_message) were never closed; leading to a memory leak particularly visible in a context where lot of messages are skipped. The fix is simply to assign `after_skip_message` to `after_process_message`, so the teardown logic is triggered. This pattern is used in the [Dramatiq code base](https://github.com/Bogdanp/dramatiq/blob/143aaa228521606806a87daefff2d21f88607e70/dramatiq/middleware/time_limit.py#L97).
