My theory is that these bounties were created before the limit was made.

Wait… that last bounty, the threading in Python: How come it is due 7 months ago, but it’s still Open?
Can the Bounty Poster change it from Open to In Progress then to Completed?

The due date doesn’t affect the status of the bounty

No one was ever accepted to work on it so it never went to In Progress. Replit hasn’t really implemeneted a system to remove old bounties that were abandoned after creation.
