Central banks don’t limit the availability of credit, they only affect the interest rate. That is how central banks affect the amount of borrowing - by making interest rates more (or less) attractive. But loans are always available at the prevailing interest rate.

Banks create loans by expanding their balance sheet; they don’t lend out pre-existing money. There is no operational limit to how much credit banks can create, they just need to stay within regulations (capital requirements and reserve requirements, if any).

It is possible for central banks to put a hard limit on the amount of reserves, thereby also putting a hard limit on the amount of credit that banks can create, but by doing so they lose control of interest rates (banks bid up available reserves, so interest rates go up, etc.) So central banks now choose to supply whatever reserves banks need to satisfy the demand for loans, and keep control of the overnight rate instead.
