self-limiting

"Accordingly, as long as no objective distinction is made in what they refer to, it would in general be better style to use 'self-limiting' in contexts where the future development of a particular condition or treatment is in question, and 'self-limited' where the context refers to or implies past a past occurrence."

agree philgoddard : Your first reference (though I don't agree with it) supports Mona's answer. Limiting or limited are both fine in my opinion.
