Quick answer on the run.

Rarely would it be maximum RPM, that usually doesn't limit thrust until quite high Altitudes.

More typically, Flat Rated Thrust will be Pressure limited, until such time as maximum EGT is reached, whereupon maximum thrust will be Temperature limited. RPM, as stated, usually comes much later.
