Additional info for this issue when using Cpp since this is the top result on google:

When you are facing this issue using classes with a ros::NodeHandle and ros::Rate, make sure the order is:

class A
{
ros::NodeHandle nh;
ros::Rate r;
.
.
.
}

Otherwise the ros::Rate object will be created first which ends up with the same exception thrown.
