A great many creatures simply die after reproducing, for example, which we can interpret to mean the minimum requirement has been met and anything beyond that isn’t as important

Octopi are these incredibly intelligent and exceptionally resilient, but they kick it inside 3-5 years, typically right after reproducing.
