I was under the mistaken belief the use count didn't matter for modules linked RENT and/or found in the LPA from a LOAD macro. But I see that you will get a S906 after 32767 (x'7fff') loads. This is z/OS 1.11. Did it always work this way?
John Gilmore is correct in that the use count should get decremented under normal conditions. Ignore the other comments about multiple copies for non-reentrant modules; by definition LPA modules are treated as re-entrant regardless of their linked attributes.
However, you either have 32K concurrent users of IEFBR14, something I find unlikely, or a long-running task that fails to do a DELETE. While theoretically a storage overlay is possible, it's unlikely to hit only the count field.
