Right, it's only automatic if you dedicate the entire drive. I had not done that. I was using the 1TB drive for both TM and other files, so I had to manage them manually and occasionally delete old ones. I had about 300GB of TM data and 600GB of other stuff.
I'm not doing that anymore, and I think things will work much better now.
