AFAIK, the SFF main grant cycle budget isn’t increasing. Rather, this initiative looks to pull a larger fraction of the next (unannounced, usually semi-annual) grant round’s funding to the near future with speculation grants, which can help smooth out consumption / help deal with acute needs.
I agree that the EA funding environment, especially for longtermist and meta orgs, is shrinking quite a lot, and folks should plan accordingly.
