It was a de facto term limit. The truce made among the CPC was that every president gets two 5 year terms and then the next generation takes over. This provides for an orderly transition and everyone gets a chance to move up.
Xi regards himself as indispensable and nobody else can do the job the way he can. So he had himself written into the constitution and he'll basically be president-for-life now. This is causing everyone else in the CPC to be unable to advance a rank. They're all stuck where they are, and it's not going to change while Xi is alive. He's got another three decades of rule in him.

He's the one who decides how long his term of office is. Not the Party.
Big difference there.
