So the question about magnetic strength limits given zero resistance is very interesting! Glad to see interest as it’s an obvious question very few people ask.
All superconductors have a property we call critical field. Above this limit the material is no longer able to compensate for and exclude magnetic fields, and the superconducting properties collapse.
So if we made a coil of say YBCO (a common type 2 in lab examples) and we pumped more and more current through it, eventually it overwhelmed the material and suddenly resistance would skyrocket, generating heat causing a feedback cycle and it would probably melt to slag.
Ah seeing your edits.
