Yes, the latest recommendation from 7/19/2021 says 150000km miles.

https://aftermarket.zf.com/remotemed...fluid-8-it.pdf

The wording is that no fluid change is needed, but due to many factors, 150000km OCI is recommended. High-temperature/high load usage and/or unknown history shortens that interval further.

"ZF automatic transmissions are generally filled with lifetime oil. However, due to the many factors influencing the service life of transmissions in individual operation, ZF recommends an oil
change after 150,000 km for its transmissions.

In operating conditions with high temperatures and loads, or with unknown vehicle use in the
past, it can make sense to change the transmission oil at shorter intervals."
