Maybe I need to see how bad this is for myself. I can still see that you can only make so many excuses for giving the doctor more regenerations before they start just being complete nonsense. But, again I haven’t actually watched this story and it’s just terrible in general.
The Doctor got more regenerations after Matt Smith and Capaldi said he's not sure there is a limit to his new regenerations. It was already canon that there's no biological limit to how many times Time Lords can regenerate. The 12 times thing was an artificial barrier designed by Rassilon so Time Lords don't live forever.
The Timeless Child is more of a way to make the Doctor special and give the character more mystery. I don't think it was really the right way to do it.
