You need most protein if you exercise every day and kinda break you muscles. As your body needs big amounts of protein just to fix your muscles. Taking more easy, you need "extra" protein mostly just to grow muscles. Although there is of course some repairing always, even if you don't exercise.
The limit really comes your genes/qualities by birth, unless you take steroids and such. But of course you have to exercise to get to your limit.

It really depends on what your goals are. I just go to the gym and follow my diet closely. If you want to make progress you must always change your diet and lifting routine once your body becomes acclimated to it. Hitting your "natural limit" is extremely extremely difficult. Your body not only needs protein for muscle repair but also carbohydrates/glycogen as fuel along with a proper balance of fats for your natural hormone support.
