Recently Saiki's stamina was upgraded to "likely infinite" for a hyperbole. Quote "It would become an endless chase. We would never finish this, and this fight would go on forever"
Hyperbole is defined as an exaggerated statement that isn't meant to be taken literally, the reason why I believe this is a hyperbole is because saying something would go on forever is a really common statement, for example. Lets say your waiting in a long line, alot of people would say things like "this line is endless" or "its going to take forever to get to the end", there are so many more examples like "its going to take forever to finish this movie" "this fight has been going on forever" "this guy is taking forever to order", "forever" is a common statement and 99 percent of the time is taken as a hyperbole.
The term "Likely" is only to be used when "The probability of the justification in question for being reliable should be favourable", there is no reason for us to assume Saiki actually thought the battle would go on for millions of years and never stop, even if there is the reasoning isn't favourable in my opinion. Its like giving a character a "Likely light speed" rating for saying their punches move at the speed of light.
EXTRA downgrades:
. Aren has superhuman stamina for saying he beat 12 delinquents at once, this is at most a peak human stamina feat (although peak humans have done much much more impressive stamina feats)
. Teruhashi has peak human stamina for staying awake for several nights. Is this even stamina ? I'm also sure its entirely achievable by an athletic human, peak human is a stretch. She also has "genius" intelligence for being able remember all the people in her schools names and tell when they got haircuts ect, this is all pretty standard and imo calls for "Above average" or "gifted"
