I didn't think there was any such proposal at all. And, to be frank, that example you give is so obviously bad that it should be clear nobody would ever support that, so it's a straw-man. I.e. this isn't addressing something anyone is actually wanting. I think it's more effective to clarify a proposal by aiming to express it so he proposer will say "yes! that's it!", and then you can critique the issues you may see with it. I think the proposal was only that you get regular general status updates overall, like a notification every couple weeks or every month showing the change in your pledge values and otherwise you can see your status on your dashboard page. And in those general status updates, there would be *some* level (which would definitely be nothing like using only $5 of $10 limit) that would indicate getting-close-to-limit. In other words, there would be absolutely NO request for a limit change, but there would just be a yellow color around the stat that shows something like "current total pledge value: $9.23 of $10 budget maximum". It shouldn't ask anyone to do anything, it just indicates that the current situation is likely to hit the limit (and thus auto-suspend some pledge) if a decent number of new patrons join soon. The only "please consider increasing your budget" message is part of addressing the situation once the limit is actually hit. But it is *not* good to provide no indication at all before hitting the limit. Giving people the information that they are approaching their limit just helps them see what's happening and keep tabs on it (and adjust in advance if they feel like doing that, but no pressure).
