Dnf not downloading metadata

Try to run a system update. No sure why the dnf gets this strange error. It refuse to connect to the server.

[kyiu@rocky ~]$ sudo su
[sudo] password for kyiu:
[root@rocky kyiu]# dnf update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

firmware for qemu, built by jenkins, fresh from 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘qemu-firmware-jenkins’:

Did you try to go to the URL that it says connection refused? Does it load? If not, disable the repository called qemu-firmware-jenkins and try to update.

I don’t know what’s wrong. I just did exactly the same command on my system. The message came back completely different then before:

kyiu@rocky ~]$ sudo su
[root@rocky kyiu]# dnf update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

I think the dnf server was down before and gave me the error message. Today, the server must be back up and running. It says, I don’t need an update.
Thanks for your help!
