It seems to be working. But what I don't understand is what happens after a link expired. Now it seems that it's just replaced, it overwrites the old link. Is that how it should be?

As mentioned in the README here, when a short url expires, there can be 1 of 2 basic options:

delete the short url from YOURLS
update the short url with a secondary fallback URL

As stated in the README, this fallback URL can be set to 1 of 2 options also:

per link
globally
