[Evergreen-general] Untargeted expiration

[Josh Stompro]

I have a memory of that message being caused by the hold feature that loops
through item circ locations in sequence for targeting.. If it tries all
possible locations a certain number of times, and an item isn't captured it
cancels the hold with that message.  Feature may be called target loops?

We had that enabled by mistake when we first migrated, so I remember having
to track it down.

Do you have the library settings "Maximum library target attempts" set?

Setting code is 'circ.holds.max_org_unit_target_loops'

I found this in the 2.12 new features documentation.

When configured, hold target loops cycle through all org units (with
