[root@kvm-02-guest13 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 2.3.12-1
subscription management rules: 5.30
subscription-manager: 1.23.8-12.el8


[root@kvm-02-guest13 ~]# cat /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf | grep "disable"
# Set to 1 to disable certificate validation:
# is strongly recommended. When inotify is disabled, periodical directory
disable = 0

Snippet from rhsm.conf man page:

[RHSMCERTD] OPTIONS
      splay
           1 to enable splay. 0 to disable splay. If enabled, this feature delays the initial auto attach and cert check by an amount between 0 seconds and the interval given for the action being delayed. For example if the
           certCheckInterval were set to 3 minutes, the initial cert check would begin somewhere between 2 minutes after start up (minimum delay) and 5 minutes after start up. This is useful to reduce peak load on the Satellite or
           entitlement service used by a large number of machines.

       disable
           set to 1 to disable rhsmcertd operation entirely.
