RHEL subscription removed after sometime

Problem:

After you register a new RHEL hosts, they get assigned one temporary
subscription of RHEL, which in turns helps to show all the updates and
erratas applicable on the hosts on the katello console.
But after sometime, this temporary RHEL subscription goes away from the
host's subscription list, however other subscriptions (ex EPEL) are still
applied, and now hosts doesn't shows any applicable RHEL erratas/updates.

So is there a way we can disable expiry of this temporary RHEL subscription
in katello and have unlimited subscription similar to custom products setup
in katello.

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks,

There are a lot of good articles on subscriptions here:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/subscription-management-satellite-6

The behaviour you are seeing is expected. The temporary sub is available
for newly registered hosts for 24 hours. Within that time period the system
should auto-attach to a full subscription. The 24 hour grace period is
there to allow virt-who to report the guest to hypervisor relationship, if
that's necessary.

We are using katello to patch EC2 instances so is there a way we can have
RHEL subscription which doesnt expire in 24 hours.
Our current subscription only subscribe one instances and after 24 hours
other instances are left without RHEL subscription.

Definitely contact Red Hat support if you need to purchase more
subscriptions. A subscription covers one host and is not meant to be moved
around to other hosts [insert some terms&conditions and legal jargon].

I am not sure what the best subscription for EC2 instances is, to be
honest. Please let us know what you find out, though.
