Description of Problem:

When stopping rhsmcertd service via systemd, it resports a successful automatic registration at the same timestamp of service termination.

This occurs even though no action is in process for automatic registration (with splay=1 and autoreg interval set to default of 60 minutes).

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

subscription-manager-1.30.6-1.el10_0.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.29.45-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible

Always

Is this a regression issue:

AFAIK, Yes - but it exists in RHEL 9 + 10

Steps to Reproduce

• systemctl start rhsmcertd

• systemctl stop rhsmcertd

• cat /var/log/rhsm/rhsmcertd.log

Actual Behavior

False auto-reg success msg prints in rhsmcertd.log when stopping rhsmcertd.service

2025-07-01T14:07:31.638+00:00 [INFO] (Auto-registration) performed successfully.
2025-07-01T14:07:31.638+00:00 [INFO] rhsmcertd is shutting down... 

Expected Behavior

rhsmcertd should just report its shutdown message, no false statements.
