Read that as "late" as in my payment is late by 8 days because
I sent it in a week after the "due date".

What amanda is refering to is not bills but level 0 backups.
If a DLE gets a level 0 dump today, it is "due" for another
level 0 in "dumpcycle number of days".

So in the original example, one DLE was "due for a level 0"
8 days ago.  Thus it is overdue 8 days.  The other DLE is
due for a level 0 in 3 days, so as long as a level 0 is done
for that DLE in the next 3 days, it will meet the dumpcycle
requirement and not become overdue.
