Yes. That setting says the volume is to remain writeable for 23 hours
from the time it is first written. If you look back at the job results
you posted earlier, you'll see that each day, the three jobs you ran
were all written to the same volume, but the next day, when the next set
of jobs ran 24 hours after you first wrote to the volume, the use
duration was exceeded and Bacula had to recycle the next volume and use
it. All of this is exactly what should be happening.
