No, there is no upper limit to suffering.

If one person has been killed in a fire, that’s bad. If the fire killed two people, that’s worse. If it killed 100 people, that’s even worse.

There is no magical point where you say “Oh, there are 42 people that we could rescue, but we won’t, because 600 people have been killed already and that somehow makes the rescue pointless”.

If we can reduce suffering by just a bit, and delay the worst just a bit, then it’s worth it.
