I misread the docs.

BACKUP DURATION 4:00 TABLESPACE users;

RMAN backs up the specified data at the maximum possible speed. If the backup is
not complete in four hours, the backup is interrupted. Any completed backupsets are
retained and can be used in restore operations, even if the entire backup is not
complete. Any incomplete backupsets are discarded.

What needs to be done here is to ensure that your backup is not in 1 backupset, or it is
possible you'll never get a backup.

Yes it is a neat feature. RMAN however gets more and more complex.

I didn't see anything in the docs about RATE being deprecated. Possibly in another doc.

The RATE parameter specifies the bytes/second that RMAN reads on this channel.
Use this parameter to set an upper limit for bytes read so that RMAN does not
consume excessive disk bandwidth and degrade online performance. For example, set RATE=1500K. If each disk drive delivers 3 MB/second, then RMAN
leaves some disk bandwidth available to the online system.
