If I'm not mistaken, the energy used to mine crypto is the same energy used for transactions. If the limit were suddenly hit, why would a miner continue? Without which transfers stop and the coin is frozen.

Transaction fees are to replace block creation rewards for miner reward as time goes on leading to eventual 100% of block reward being transaction fees once all 21 million coins have been mined.

So miners will be paid to process transaction fees? With the same or different equipment? That will necessarily drop the value of the security in an instant. Could also lead to slow transactions if ROI isn't good enough.
