Is there unlimited of things? Or it’s just misconception?
Have a look on a set of all the facts in the universe. We can make possible combinations (permutations) of it, and the combination may vary (seemingly - approaching) infinitely, but it’s just a concept (potential). In reality there is only a certain (limited) number.
Practically it is limited, potentially also not unlimited. That's why I use the term "approaching" (seeming as if) unlimited.

Whether in practice (actual) or conceptual (potential) or in any case, there is no infinity. There is only "NOT LIMITED BY "
If there is an infinite set, then the boundary can be expanded beyond itself without the addition of the other which is an impossibility (violating the axiom)
Therefore: there is no infinite, there is only “NOT LIMITED BY ”
