What were you trying to do that didn't work?

• gnome-online-accounts spams the syslog with errors when it is not connected to an account

What is the impact of this issue to you?

• Log spam is unacceptable

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

• gnome-online-accounts-3.40.0-8.el9.x86_64

How reproducible is this bug?:

• Easy

Steps to reproduce

1. Do not configure an account for gnome-online-accounts

Expected results

• No log spam

Actual results

• Error log spam

Additional notes

• There seems to be inconsistent behavior when attempting to disable gnome-online-accounts entirely using

  # systemctl --global mask org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.service
  

• Masking this works temporarily, but does not seem to consistently survive a reboot. On the customer system, with the mask present, GOA restarts after a reboot regardless of the mask and confirmation that the unit mask is in place
• There was a prior bug filed for this that was closed WONTFIX against RHEL 7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1722210) as noted in kbase solution https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4774381
