I think you overread the third sentence entirely, which describes
precisely the keyword “infinity”:

       LimitCPU=, LimitFSIZE=, LimitDATA=, LimitSTACK=, LimitCORE=,
       LimitRSS=, LimitNOFILE=, LimitAS=, LimitNPROC=, LimitMEMLOCK=,
       LimitLOCKS=, LimitSIGPENDING=, LimitMSGQUEUE=, LimitNICE=,
       LimitRTPRIO=, LimitRTTIME=
           These settings control various resource limits for executed
           processes. See setrlimit(2) for details. Use the string
           infinity to configure no limit on a specific resource.
