And they're being limited on data to train GPT.

Yeah, but the trained model is already there, you need additional data for further training and newer versions. OpenAI even makes a point that ChatGPT doesn't have direct access to the internet for information and has been trained on data available up until 2021

And it's not like there is a limit of simple math problems that it can train on even if it wasn't already trained.

That doesn't make any sense to explain degradation. It would explain a stall but not a back track.
