I feel like a hard cap isn't strictly needed? Maybe just check-ins every few loops.
IDK, my own experience in inducing such states in others is heavily predicated upon being a presence in the space that can make calls. Automation of it is a fun issue to tackle.
Agreed, yeah. I dunno what the right call is -- a hard cap is trivial to introduce for now and then I'll think harder about how to do check-ins that are harder to ignore/lose-track-of! Finding the line between wanting to let folks have the experience they _want_ to have and not wanting them to get stuck somewhere they don't want to be....
