Semantics. They have a preset spending limit. Either way it does not report so has no effect.

on a business card a lower line won't affect your score, on a personal card it can if you are utilizing a higher percentage of your CL

The ironic Reason for lowering my spending limit is because I never have an high outstanding balance and the reason for that is because I keep on paying my balance during the month

Doesn't seem logical but you are putting them at greater risk.

They used to always let me and a couple fam members go over CL by about 50% (up till 75k on a 50k CL) in the last week or so they’ve only let about 20% over

If keep paying off your balance many times each month you are most likely going over your CL or preset credit limit.

no not at all it’s just Our honorable @Dan always urges everyone to make sure that by closing date you don’t have a balance greater then $1

OK I thought you were paying your card multiple times per month.
