Why is recycling fees complex?

Why is recycling fees complex? It seems like simple math in accounting. I asked Decile Base but got an uninformative answer:
`Recycling fees in the context of venture capital refers to the process of reinvesting proceeds from the sale or exit of a portfolio company into new investments. The "Recycle Amount" is a percentage set in the Limited Partnership Agreement (LPA) that determines the upper limit of what can be recycled and redeployed. However, a fund manager is not required to deploy up to that exact Recycled Amount percentage. It's important to note that recycling is often avoided in a first fund due to its complexity.
Why is recycling fees complex?
Recycling fees can be complex because they involve reinvesting proceeds from the sale or exit of a portfolio company into new investments. This process requires careful management and tracking of funds, and can potentially delay the start of a new fund. It can also be difficult to explain to inexperienced limited partners. Therefore, while recycling can increase the amount of capital available for investment, it also adds a layer of complexity to fund management.`
