Goods may be rationed during wartime for a couple of reasons.

When commodities become scarce (which can happen during wartime) and demand remains the same prices will rise, maybe a lot. Rationing reduces the demand and thus keeps prices from going out of reach for ordinary income people.

Some commodities such as tires, gasoline, etc. are needed for the war effort, rationing makes them available for this purpose.

I don't remember services being rationed but if they were it would be for the same reasons.

Why would a market mechanism ration scarce goods and services?

A market mechanism rations scarce goods and services by adjusting prices based on supply and demand dynamics. When a good is scarce, its price typically rises, leading to decreased demand and increased supply as producers are incentivized to create more. This price signal helps allocate resources efficiently, ensuring that those who value the good the most are willing to pay for it. Ultimately, the market balances the availability of goods with consumer preferences through this pricing mechanism.
