What should "may increase over time" mean to you?
Plan against today's number. A movable limit can move up, and the vendor is signalling exactly that, but the only figure you can operate against is the published one. The planning math for media-heavy teams, compliance retention, and agencies is in the limits guide, and the cross-product cost model is in the cost math guide.

A $0 line is not a $0 decision. Self-operating a relay moves the cost into your own hosting and on-call, and no future price is published.
