That's a fair point. However, practically speaking, if a peer spends credit legitimately and needs more, how does it get it?

We're seeing various HTTP/3 issues around getting blocked by conservative initial values, and there is little guidance on ways to mitigate this happening. If the answer is to aggressively dole out credit, it kind of devalues having limits.
