We got Robert Waldo who grew to 8'11, but nobody has surpassed his height and he died and a very young age.
So what is the limit.

There is no such limit,
if the oxygen containment was higher such as back then, people would be quite taller.
Height varies on nutrition throughout generations too.
If all you potentially consume is dairy, mainly of a higher capacity animal.
You will be quite tall + Marfans or Gigantism and Acromegaly.
You could quite potentially be a giant.

Yet it has not happened yet, there are very few exception of people getting to the high 7 feet low 8 feet, but they are one in a billion or more.

Exactly, cause none of them meet the requirements needed for such growth,
who consumes only dairy of a higher capacity animal?
Who has marfans + acromegaly or gigantism
Who has higher capacity of oxygen inhale.

Bro but having Marfans is not normal, you will die soon or not live a healthy life, I’m talking naturally.

That might just be the limit, he's an extreme anomaly. Only a handful of people have reached 8 feet tall. 7 feet is already extremely rare and he's almost 2 feet over that

Define "nature",
sorry man I have to do this.

Without having any weird conditions with tumors in your pituitary gland

Well in your definition, your opinion is correct.
Yet even without those conditions, if you had higher oxygen inhale + dairy consumption of a higher capacity animal(regularly over generations)
You would be quite tall.

Of course you would be tall, but how tall.
9ft
10ft
11 12ft
Like when would it end until it’s just not possible to go more.

If you do it regularly over centuries(hardcore)
quite possibly 10ft+

There isn't a "limit"
Wadlow had a brain condition. He died as a result of an infection.
Theoretically he could keep growing until his skeletal structure collapsed on itself, which would probably happen somewhere around 10 feet.
Answering OP's question, humans continue to grow every generation. The "genetic limit" is probably around 6'6 for men (naturally)

There is a limit until we evolve, then they'll be a new limit.

There's a cap that humans will reach eventually. We will not surpass this general area. Humans have no need to be taller than 6'6, biologically speaking. You are right that we will evolve. We've evolved over millions of years to fix minor issues in our builds. There is no reason for us to continue to grow after a certain point, so we will eventually stop.

Humans seem to be an exception, there's no real justification for us being as smart as we cufrently are

For aesthetics 6’1+ is too much

Stop making false assumptions,
they could theoretically grow above 50ft+
if they existed during time of dinosys and had access to their flesh,
