I just noticed a very similar observation in this JIRA entry: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3078
When I ran that test case with 5.4.0.Final it worked as it should (the timer didn't continue to fire). The difference is that the this test case is calling: kbase.removeRule( pkgName, ruleName ); where I'm calling: org.drools.rule.Package pkg; pkg.removeRule( rule ); Changing my code to call kbase.removeRule() got rid of the timer!!
