--- Comment #5 from Jason Robb <jrobb at sekls.org> ---
We're experiencing similar in 21.11.

My sysprefs are:
- CircControl: at the library you are logged in at
- HomeOrHoldingBranch: the item's holding library (holdingbranch)

The two sysprefs seem to conflict where renewals are involved. The logged in
librarian's rules are always used to dictate renewals rather than the item
holding branch's rules.

To replicate:
- Set CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch as noted above
- Check out an item while logged in as Library A where the circ/renew period is
set to 7 days
- Switch to Library B where the circ/renew period is 14 days
- Renew the item while logged in as Library B, the new due date is 14 days
later

A few savvy users have figured out that they can call a library with a longer
loan period for renewal to get a bigger extension on their checkouts.

It would be nice if renewal behavior could be explicitly defined to follow the
rules of the library of the initial checkout to close that loophole.
