For what it's worth it's not really an established fact that he CAN'T do it infinitely but I think there are a lot less plot holes if you assume he can't. "He wasn't challenged" isn't quite good enough, cause there are a lot of situations where he is clearly challenged and still isn't doing it. It's only when he's pretty much at the brink of death when he's doing it in cutscenes, pretty much ever. Even when like, he's fighting in situations where he's pretty much serious, and his friends are at risk, and he's cutting it rather close. Dante's really carefree in say, 70% of the games, but he's got a pretty big selection of fights he's taking seriously, in all of the games, and yeah, you never see him just busting out DT without a major reason for it. Vergil following pretty much the exact same mechanics as an enemy as the player does is a hint too.

That and, the artifact Kanzaris is referring to giving Dante infinite DT as part of the power of the artifact, well, it probably means something. Otherwise it's not really giving Dante any power-- just draining his life to let Dante do something... he can apparently already do?
