Until one day

Hi Friends,

He put up with it for many years until one day when he finally decided to take action.

Should 'until one day' be followed by when in such cases?

Thanks/

I think I'd add a comma there because the when-clause doesn't modify 'day'. 'when' is OK there. It means 'and on that day'.

Here are some other examples of that usage of 'when':
