Sort of. There was an artificial limitation given back in the day for reasons, but not only have there been a ton of ways given in canon to circumvent that limit, the writers for the modern incarnation have basically said "13 lives? lolnope, not stopping ourselves there if we wanna keep going."
So yeah.

C = THREE ( 3 ) number of doctors in the new series of them
L = TWELVE ( 12 ) number of times a time lord could originally regenerate
1 + 2 = 3
MY MIND
Well, the rules of the old timelords were that at the thirteenth regeneration it was time to finally die. But, now that The Doctor is the last, we don't know if he's going to stick with it or not.

Knowing Moffat.. also, you should really go to tumblr with this. Tumblr famous with the whovians you would become.
The number of lives they have was mentioned, according to someone... ONCE, and it just /stuck/
The doctor has mentioned being thousands of years old... but no one seems to give a fuck when he changes his age.
It's official that The Doctor has unlimited regenerations because he's the last.
