There is a limit, but you don't see it as a meaningful one. Personally, I feel the same way about full-heal on a Long Rest - it's essentially limitless, and turns everyone into Wolverine. Fortunately, 5E gives me plenty of tools to fix that problem.It's not a question about how the DM chooses to interpret the rules. It's a problem with vague rules, which the players cannot adequately interpret. Regardless of what the rule is, the players are motivated to conserve resources at all times, or else the game might end in an otherwise-avoidable TPK. It should be expected that they'll do everything in their power in order to conserve resources, while progressing toward whatever other goal they have. If chaining two Short Rests will allow them to conserve the most resources without significantly impeding their quest, then that's the expected action for them to take. If they can't chain Short Rests together, then they are best served by finding the minimum possible cost required between two Short Rests. If Short Rests are limited to no-more-than 2 in a period of 24 hours (for example), then Short Rests themselves become a resource to be conserved, and they need to spend those strategically.</blockquote>
