SCCM Windows Update
We have a update deployment template set with the following settings:
Suppress display notifications on clients
Template Duration 2 weeks
Allow Restart outside of maintenance windows
The maintenance window is set to Saturday at 5:00PM to 9:00PM. For an unknown reason, the clients are still being given the ballon pop up and choice to "Install Now" or "Advanced Installation" during the software updates. We need these clients to just install the updates and reboot.

Merowinger,
Yes there is a deadline set. It is the following Saturday, just in case a system is powered off.

First, I'd advise you to review your GPO pertaining to Computer Configuration -- Administrative Templates -- Windows Components -- Windows Update
Within the Windows Update policies, you have numerous options to configure to how Windows Updates acts when it reaches the client. You can Enable or Disable the policies to fit your organization.
Remember: if you have a maintenance window set, but you have Allow Restart outside of maintenance window, the workstations/servers will reboot at will.
Please refer to this for further GPO/Windows Updates best practices:
