I think the EIP bot does this if it stays on Draft for too long 🤔

just double checking that system calls (EIP-2935, EIP-7002, etc) will keep the current limit of 30M?

Yeah, system calls are kinda unrelated as they don't count to block gas and if they cause a problem can be fixed in protocol.

Is more for unknown and unpredictable user txs

Can it be added in the EIP why it is specifically choosen to be 16,777,216 (2^24) and not 16,777,215 (2^24 - 1)? The former fits in 4 bytes, while the second fits in 3 bytes. I know the other proposed EIP has a small motivation for the 2^24 number which I think should be added here too. (I do not completely grasp the motivation though, but maybe @vbuterin could chime in here?)

We may still want to gather some feedback from dapp builders. We've already stumbled across apps with emergency modules that were never called on mainnet but could require more gas than 16.7m.
