This is all I could find on the grant limit waiver. It appears to only grant that waiver for one year, 2021/2022.
"Granting an extra year of eligibility could bring plenty of complications for schools, however. The NCAA's announcement said seniors student-athletes who take advantage of the additional year of eligibility will not count against team scholarship limits in 2021-22. But even with temporarily-expanded scholarship limits, athletic departments dealing with significant budget shortfalls may not be in position to spend more on athletic scholarships.
The NCAA's announcement Friday did not mandate that schools fund the scholarships of seniors for an additional year; this adopted rule merely allows for the temporary expansion of scholarship limits to accommodate seniors who do opt to return for an additional season."
Maybe this will help.

“What does an extra year of eligibility mean?
All student-athletes whose 2020-2021 season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will now get 6 years to compete in 4 full seasons of their sport in college.
While the NCAA’s ruling was sympathetic to the needs of student-athletes who may have lost a year of competition, they carry with them unintended consequences for college coaches, scholarship budgets and future recruiting classes.
Ultimately, it’s the school’s and coach’s decision to decide if they want to extend their scholarship limit to include fifth year seniors or transfers.
The determining factor is whether or not a school can afford to give scholarships over the maximum.”
