Oxygen Mask Limitation

Hello Folks! I had a query regarding the altitude limitation on sustained use of Oxygen masks by crew/pax:

A/C service ceiling : 45000
Crew Mask Limitation for sustained Use : 40000
Pax Mask limitation for sustained use: 25000

Looking for an answer as why is there an altitude limiting factor, so long as there is enough supply form the oxygen cylinders on board.

Thanks.
