Not in my experience. AFAICT, all my Bacula installations have always
checked the use duration of all volumes, and updated the status of those
volumes who had exceeded it to "Used", at the beginning of every job,
and on assorted other occasions as well.

My guess would be that you reduced the "use duration" parameter for your
pool, but not for the volumes that you had already added to the pool at
that time. In that case, those volume will have retained the old "use
duration" value. You can check that with the bconsole command "llist
volumes".
