Hello, I haven't looked at this in detail, but if a Job is re-run, then it clearly should keep a job slot filled. However, if the Job is put on a queue to be run later (i.e. you have a reschedule time, which you did not mention), then I will need to look at this in more detail as it would seem logical to me that if a job is not running because it is waiting in a queue, it probably should not be counted. It all depends on what is really implemented in Bacula.
I cannot say at this point whether or not this is a bug, but I suggest you open a bug report (otherwise this problem will be lost), then we will look at it, but please be a bit more specific about what parameters are set and what is actually happening.
