That’s most likely what is happening. Jobs reported by exec_count have live processes running. It’s possible to have job records marked as executing in the database when the processes aren’t running anymore. Those are called orphaned jobs, and they typically happen during shutdown when jobs run longer than the queue shutdown period.
There’s more about that situation in the Ready for Production guide.
It doesn’t mean that the job may run in the future. Most likely, it was running in the past and the queue shut down.
