I'm not sure I understand your question correctly. Do you mean it's used until you reach the peak amplitude? If so, yes. You would start out at -17.5 dB and, if the peak amplitude ended up being at -12 after you have used the hard limiter that many times, then you would stop at -12. (Each time you use the hard limiter naturally decreases the maximum amplitude, so you can't just use the maximum amplitude immediately after clip fixing the recording as your place to stop - well, you could, but you'd be wasting your time - but this will give you a vague idea of where you'll have to stop after you've done it enough times).
I may not have explained this fully, but it's used to fix the fact that Clip Fix, as currently programmed, overcompensates for clipping when the signal is really distorted. This creates gigantic pops in bass drum hits that are ridiculously overpowered and sound horrible. Using the "hard limiter" (which, as I said, is actually like a hard knee filter) reduces the amplitude of these pops to a reasonable level.

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can’t lick ’em, join ’em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.”
-Ursula K. Le Guin, “ The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”
“I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he’s talking to?
’Cause I know it ain’t me, and I hope it isn’t you”
-Neil Young, “Ambulance Blues” | | Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. | Vaulting, veering, vomiting up the values that victimized me, feeling vast,
feeling virginal... was this how he felt? This verve, this vitality... this vision...
La voie... la vérité... la vie. | (SPOILER)
