In my case I used setting chg_curlim also for when phone is on.
Yes chg_curlim does not help to force usb real current to ie. 750m exactly.
But ! This way I could have my phone use approx 750mA when on (by setting
chg_curlim to 500mA).

Of course it may sometimes consume up to 1A if needed (the peaks I was
talking about...).
But this is ok in my case for my weak dumb charger.
What would not be ok is having chg_curlim not forced and phone pulling 1A
for 30 minutes continuously while charging the battery faster than I need...
(And usb_curlim to 500mA would on the other hand not charge quickly enough
(about 300mA).)
