According to our RHEL AppStreams Life Cycle, Node.js 16 was retired on Apr 2024:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle
However, as Node.js doesn't have a default module, in RHEL 9.4 it will still try to install Node.js 16 by default, unless the 18/20 modules are explicitly enabled:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.4 (Plow) [root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager release --show Release: 9.4 [root@localhost ~]# dnf module list | grep nodejs nodejs 18 common [d], development, minimal, s2i Javascript runtime nodejs 20 common [d], development, minimal, s2i Javascript runtime [root@localhost ~]# dnf install nodejs Updating Subscription Management repositories.
