If you stop at FL230, they generally get upset because they are planning arrivals on you being above it, even though the plate says otherwise.

Of course it takes 270 days to get a nav plate changed.
That is not correct - see my post above- when they clear you higher (or lower, for that matter), that automatically cancels all published altitude restrictions. It's in the AIM.

Of course, if you're not sure....
