In that situation the mask was not known to be leaking beforehand. It is a guard against it.
I am not the one suggesting this. It was suggested to me. But this would be for a situation where you do not know the mask is leaking to write it up. It is in case that situation happens unknowingly during flight and thus draining all the O2 which at our usual 1700 fill will be empty in 20 minutes or so. I disagree with the practice as does my employer. I always follow the checklist but there is a strong push to stop turning on the O2 when we do our checklist.
