Congress can pass up to three reconciliation bills per year, with each bill addressing the major topics of reconciliation: revenue, spending, and the federal debt limit. However, if Congress passes a reconciliation bill affecting more than one of those topics, it cannot pass another reconciliation bill later in the year affecting one of the topics addressed by the previous reconciliation bill.[3] In practice, reconciliation bills have usually been passed once per year at most.[16]

Edit: Are you saying the Senate and House made two identical budget resolutions in this year? Or is it just that Senate Republicans don't want to blow reconciliation for the next year on what is probably mostly continuing resolution?

That information doesn't line up with History. When a second budget is drawn up in the same year, you can reconcile it.

Say 2021, budget passed in February, then the "Build Back Better Act" went to reconciliation in 2021 and failed.

But it didn't fail do to reconciliation limits, but rather votes
