IIRC, that 25 mission limit for 25 missions in the USAAF didn’t even make it out of 1943. They upped it fairly early on, and there was quite nearly a mutiny...aircrew morale was very low at that point.
I can only imagine the discord a moving target like that would cause.

"They upped it fairly early on, and there was quite nearly a mutiny...aircrew morale was very low at that point." Fighters couldn't escort the bombers for the entire trip in '43. They were debating ending daylight bombing missions at that point.
