RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 6 Chris Snyder 2016-09-30 14:56:46 UTC 
@subman_dev: The fix for this should be to print a descriptive error message. Something like "The API rate limit has been exceeded, please try again later". If possible include the time to try again from the exception.
Comment 9 Rehana 2017-05-05 15:39:06 UTC 
Retesting : 

# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.12-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.6-1.el7


# To hit ratelimit error, configure cert and auto-attach interval to short time interval and wait for the ratelimit exceed exception to appear

As mentioned in the comment 4 , when you try to use any of those call after the Ratelimit Exceed Exception; subscription-manager now displays appropriate error message on the terminal 

ex: 

# subscription-manager release --list
The server rate limit has been exceeded, please try again later.
