There is no known limit for the amount of energy he can absorb, but there is a limit to his pain threshold. Absorbing energy causes him pain and if he retains that energy for more than 90 secs it permanently disfigures him.
Thats why he has such funny proportions now. So whilst what you're saying is true to an extent, it is effectively useless in a fight, because he has limits in other aspects.

As per bio, Guido is always in pain anyways. In a fight when taking a punch or even having something fall on him, yes hed be absorbing, and would even be in pain, but hed also be dishing it back out. It would be useless if it were like a boxing match and hed be sitting in a corner somewhere with 90 seconds tick, but in a fight that wouldnt happen. Even if for some reason his opponent gets out of reach and he needs to release the energy, there are other ways of going about it as hes shown.

Guido is constantly in pain from his disfigurement. Guido on top of that would be in pain from the pounding She Hulk would be giving him and the pain of absorbing the kinetic energy and retaining it within his system.
90 secs is the longest he can hold the energy within him. Fighting against someone who is already over twice as strong as his base level, Guido would need all of the strength he could muster. Unfortunately for him, his pain threshold and the threat of permanent disfigurement both bottleneck his ability to amp his strength to the point where he coud use it throughout a fight.
On top of that, as we've seen, hit him hard and fast enough and his powers dont get a chance to come into play. If Rogue can do it, She Hulk can .
Guido loses.

Any extra pain from being hit and from consuming energy will extinguished and released. Its painful while being retained, but it wouldnt last for to long.
(0 seconds is the longest he can hold it before it disfigures his body more than it already is. Fighting someone who is twice his base strength and getting hit, makes his punches stronger than that which was taken. The pain and chance of further disfigurement doesnt or wouldnt bottleneck his ability to amp his strength in a fight because each time he gets hit, he gets stronger by default. And if for some reason he doesnt release that extra energy, he knows the consequences and will do so.
We've seen his powers ignored on the instance mentioned. In other instances, hes taken quick and powerful attacks and has absorbed it. Some even when caught off guard. Rogue doing so considering they were the same cl is called bs.
