I just see at will not necessarily as completely unexhausting. My push up example was not really serious.But I can also scream loudly at will, but not for hours without rest. I would just explain that to the player and I believe honestly that no player would object.I would also tell the warlock he can't fire eldritch blasts for 8 hours straight as I would tell the fighter he can't swing his axe for 8 hours straight. My reality check sensor would just ping.I would not limit the use of shadow step to scout ahead for a few minutes. Let him repeat the jump 100 times without rest would be no problem. But when the shadow monk gets back, he is a bit exhausted (not the game effect).Actually there is a precedent in the DM guide:While dashing is at will, chase rules put a hard limit on the number of times you can dash in a row. After a certain number of dashes you need to do increasingly difficult constitution checks that make you exhausted (game effect) until you take a short rest. This rule btw limits the use of cunning action dash to just a reasonable head start. So extending chase rules to shadow jumps seems logical to me if it serves a better story.BTW I have a shadow monk in my game who uses shadow step really well and often and I don't feel the need to put any limits on him. He does not jump around for the lolz.And to the late post: If a single ability limits the creativity of the DM to have the party enjoy the story, the ability is indeed an offender. Putting a limit on that ability because it is to strong in that regard is better than not to play the story at all or in a forced way or to ban the whole class just for an ability that is not abusive of used in a reasonable fashion.</blockquote>
