Is there a limit to the number of ECU flashes?

Hello:
I was talking to a co-worker today about the upgrades I've made to my 2012 Si. He asked me numerous questions about my Si, and among them he asked whether there is a limit to the number of flashes possible to the ECU -- he has recently sold a Subaru STI and he told me that his ECU could only be flashed around 500 times; when this limit of ECU flashes is "hit", the ECU locks itself out from further programming.
So, my question: Is there a limit to the number of possible flashes to the 2012 Civic Si ECU?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Bill Welbourn, Ph.D.
