Flights were to be planned at 330 and below because when they filed 350 pilots constantly complained and leveled off at 330. The limit was 370.

No 370 for many years right up until a couple weeks ago. The computer performance numbers probably didn't allow Dx to file above 330 or 350 very often.
The 330 limit is fine, crews rarely wanted to go above that anyway in a 200.

So why the change? Did they come up with a process that now deals with the actual problem rather than treating the symptom? Did they figure that the incidents didnt happen at 330 and below so they changed their mind on the limitation? If so, it still only treats the symptom.
