[C8; 2.3.7.131] I am working on a rule for holiday lighting, and while I have it working, the condition in the rule says (True) unused. What does that mean? The simple answer seems to be that it is not used, but today fits into the condition, so does it mean something other than the obvious>?
"True" and "unused" are separate things.
"True" is just the current evaluation of the condition--true because it's within that range. You can turn this display on or off with the "Display current values" option.
"Unused" means that condition isn't actually doing anything because you aren't using it anywhere. From the screenshot you shared, it's likely accurate given that there isn't an expression in your actions that uses it. The only other place you could use it is in a conditional trigger, which we can't say anything about since the screenshot does not include your whole rule.

Presumably you created these conditions but you aren’t actively using them either in the rule’s trigger (as a conditional trigger or required expression), or its actions (as a conditional action)?
It's important to note that the Conditions for a Required Expression (which look just like Conditions on the main and Action pages), are completely separate. The Conditions defined on the main page are the same as those defined on the Action page, and those conditions can be used in Conditional Triggers or Conditional Actions; these Conditions are not available for Required Expressions. By the same token, Conditions defined for Required Expression can only be used for a Required Expression.
