Normally, undo_retention will be discarded if there is a undo need for a

used. So I don't see why the reason behind the undo growth if you are
doing intermediate commits.

What is the value of the retention columns for the undo tablespace?

select tablespace_name ,retention from dba_tablespaces
where retention != 'NOT APPLY'

TABLESPACE_NAME                RETENTION
------------------------------ -----------
UNDORBS                        NOGUARANTEE
