I'm not Steve, but ... what if the controller does not issue the clearance
beyond the current limit? If your radios are still working, you should
hold, right?


If your radios are still working you should query the controller as you near
the clearance limit.



Obviously. I thought the issue was what if no update is forthcoming from ATC.
For example, if the frequency is too busy.

If you have a clearance limit (which is not your destination airport) and
your radios are working, and you've reached the clearance limit fix, and
you've been unable to get a new clearance limit from ATC, then you'd better
hold.
