If that is the only range_offset_limit line in your squid.conf then it
will do what you described. For *new* requests started within that time
period.

Though be aware that Squid being Internet software operates using UTC
timezone. Not local wall-time.

Whether that behaviour will "work" for whatever your problem actually is
nobody knows, because you did not state what the problem you are
attempting to solve is.
