Here's the great site about it's mission and stats!

This was its Ingenuity's 55th flight, originally the goal was to get "up to" 5 demo flights!

With its tech demo complete, Ingenuity transitions to a new operations demonstration phase to explore how future rovers and aerial explorers can work together.

aka, we never expected to get this many flights, without killing it, and we've run out of ideas for it. "Hey, Perseverance want to see some tricks?"
