As it stands today, the in game economies (and hence your budget) grow pretty rapidly from like 1900 to 1925 for, say, Germany.
So in that time period you can do the "fun" part of the game and expand/build a fleet with lots of different, interesting, designs. And then fight the occasional war to try them out.
Economies/budgets seem to stagnate pretty hard by like 1930 though, to the extend that my german peacetime budget has been like 480k for like 20 years.
Which might be historical (although its not like the German Empire even existed post 1918), but it does take some of the fun out of the game.
Late game I'm having to either scrap a bunch of perfectly good ships to build new designs which are only marginally better, or just kind of sit there and occasionally refit my perfectly good ships, but not really get to build any new ones.
I'd think the game would be more fun if budgets continued to grow throughout the time period.
They can certainly grow faster for some nations than for others, but they shouldn't stagnate as hard as they do now (imho at least).

to be fair the 30's was the great depression so growth in general was stagnant for the whole world at that time
also winning wars and not taking colonies with your points when you win is a good way to give a good boost to your budget - when fighting a war try to make the enemy collapse to maximize your victory and budget

The factors that caused it are probably not there.
