> when product runs out of ideas

Could this mean that the product is "finished" and you can put it in support mode and slowly reduce the number of people working on it?

That may be, but it doesn’t jive with the VC monkey strapped to your back. It usually means there isn’t enough user interest/engagement.

Users always have problems they run into or novel usecases they’d like to use you for.

Why slowly?

Might be because it's hard to reverse such a process if needed?
