Unsetting release doesn't change repo URL
I am trying to unset and set release but the repo URL seems to be stuck at 7.2. Ideally after cleanup it should show $releasever in place of 7.2.
Red Hat 7.4 docker container running on a Ubuntu VM.
Looking at the rhsm.log, it seems that I am hitting some rate limit.
2018-01-30 05:51:53,052 [ERROR] subscription-manager:10500:MainThread @cache.py:235 - Access rate limit exceeded 2018-01-30 05:51:53,053 [WARNING] subscription-manager:10500:MainThread @cache.py:241 - Unable to reach server, using cached status.
What is this rate limit for? What I am trying do is iterate over all releases i.e. setting release to 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 & 7.4 and downloading all the kernels that meet certain criterion.
Is this rate limit based on number of packages I can download or is it based on number of requests?
