That's not what was stated. The point was that the cells will age before you can take advantage of the extra cycles by compressing. EVE even added additional information to the new MB30 spec sheet for another criteria that could "kill" your cell before the cycle count:
The cell life is limited. Customers should establish an effective tracing system to monitor and record the internal
resistance and capacity of each cell during its life. The measurement method and calculation method of internal
resistance and capacity need to be discussed and agreed between the customer and EVE. When the internal resistance of
the cell in use exceeds 150% of the initial internal resistance, or the capacity is less than 60% of nominal capacity, the
cell should not to be used any more. Violation of this requirement will exempt EVE from its responsibility for product
quality assurance in accordance with the product sales agreement and this specification, as well as all related liabilities
such as loss compensation caused thereby.
