1000 is not a limit, it's Apple's benchmark for the expected usual and customary life of a battery. The 1000 can be exceeded with no ill effects as it's just a count of 100% charge cycles. If the battery is still functioning as expected at 1000 cycles, still takes a charge and still has remaining capacity above 80% you can continue safely using the battery.
