I've been hitting CITI up regularly for a few months and they have been saying I had too many new accounts for a CLI. Normally, when I've been eligible they've been giving me a $3K increase about every six months on average. Today, they surprised me by approving the request but it was a little bittersweet, since they cut the increase increment to $1500. But ... I'll take it for a soft pull. So I increased from $36K to $37.5K. 
Maybe they are cutting the increment or maybe I'm close to reaching a high limit on the card they'll approve based on my spend and profile?? Or maybe it's still affected by those new accounts to a degree. The card gets regular use but nowhere near that limit! In the past few years, it's turned into more of my gas card (at 4%) than anything else, at least in months where I don't earn 5% on Discover or Freedom. Since Costco takes Visa, I can now use my AOD FCU Visa there for 3% (instead of 2% on the Citi card), and my Bank of America Cash Rewards gives me 3.5% back since I moved assets to be in the Preferred Rewards program. A few years ago, I was using the card more heavily for dining out and travel until I got my Chase Sapphire Reserve and AMEX Gold, so now it's a backup. For anyone looking at the card, though, absent some better alternatives like these, it's a great card and I highly recommend it!
Congrats!
My third CLI in October was also just for $1500, instead of $3000 for the first two.
Congratulations on your CLI!

For a minimally used card, that's looking pretty good.

Thanks very much @cashorcharge, @Gunnerboy, @AverageJoesCredit, @Mr_Mojo_Risin, @AllZero! Yes, Soft Pull CLIs are great and it would be nice if they all did that! 
Interesting to know about the $1500 CLI you got @Gunnerboy.
Maybe like Navy FCU they have scaled back a little during COVID.
Congrats on the SP increase!!!
That seems like a very nice limit for the Costco card, do you know there maximum?

That is a pretty decent limit for the Costco card, but I'm sure there are higher ones on My Fico. I'm not aware of a cap on the limits like you see with some cards or lenders.
Citi (in general) from my experience is a little reserved about credit limits. They aren't ultra-conservative nor are they ultra-generous. Limits tend to start in the middle of the pack relative to one's profile and rise more gradually with age. It does not appear they are highly sensitive to usage like our friends at Capital One and Goldman Sachs/Apple, who will turn you down without moderate spending. Even their AF-premium card limits like Prestige and Premier seem modest compared to what AMEX, Bank of America, or even Chase will dole out. All that said, I imagine like most any card with the right profile and heavy spend-and-pay cycles, it could potentially rise much higher. How much probably depends on those factors.

SL9,000 > 12,000 > 15,000 > 16,500. My aggregate UTIL is <1%. Decent Costco-spend (weekly gas, bi-monthly bulk). Thought for a minute about reconning for a larger CLI, but I don't need it.
I'm satisfied with the steady growth of my single NFCU card. Pretty sure if I ever decide on a second it'll have a generous SL.
