I didn't have a specific limit in mind.  I might consider active_connection_id_limit as the number (which bounds the total number of things you need to remember to 2 times that as you might also need to remember connection IDs for active use as well).  So I don't think that you need to specify a limit, just say that endpoints need to track the highest sequence number that needs to be retired and a contiguous block of sequences numbers for which it will attempt to send RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frames.  That block might start at the bottom of the overall block of sequence numbers that require retirement.

This seems too concrete to me.
