It only hasn't moved in the US. In Australia, nearly all CC transactions are contactless, with the floor limit at AUD100 (USD70).

During the pandemic, I haven't used cash for the last 6 months.

It's more of a no-pin limit. Payments above AUD100 can still be contactless, the POS terminal asks for the card's pin. I'm not sure if there's a hard limit at all to NFC payments. I've done some >$1000 transactions contactless.
