Just because you are counting up doesn’t mean the limit is unspecified. Indeed, your original version explicitly specified the limit in every comment.
I asked because it looked very odd to me, especially counting down using # signs. I asked in the present tense because I thought you might have a general rule, such as counting down for commitments. Here is an analogous situation: what if you are managing a crowd on a trip, so you count them at the beginning, and again at some checkpoint, to make sure you haven’t lost them. Do you count down?
