I think normally cards get a limit of offline transactions before they have to do an online one. I think it's about 7 or so before an online transaction is "forced".

This seems about the correct number. It is similar to how the contactless support works. You are forced to use the traditional Chip and Pin method occasionally. It seemed to be about 5 transactions for contactless initially but I feel they have increased the limit now.
