What's the difference of Single Phlebotinum Limit and Made of Phlebotinum? Both seem to talk about how there's only a single phlebotinum for everything in the work's world.

(The latter's title also confuses me for some kind of object made of phlebotinum...)

The latter’s title is pretty bad yeah.

Anyway one is there is just one Phlebotinum in the entire work and it is commonly seen doing stuff.

The other is how literally everything in the world is based around various Phlebotinum and no limit to the amount of Phlebotinum used.

Can a work be both? Sure like say The Legend Of Heroes Trails Of Cold Steel, literally everything runs on orbal energy. Literally everything from cars, airships, guns computers and internet etc even down to how the characters use combat magic. It is clean and noiseless energy that replaced steam engines and people wrote off the invention of combustion engines, and has led an industrial revolution that has jumped tech by 300 years if you compare it to real life in the 50 years since it’s discovery.
