When and why was the max recommended dose for haloperidol reduced from 120mg daily to 30mg daily? Known to be since 1996.

I'm not sure what information you are basing these statements on, but from one source (National Institute of Health) they state that doses are usually not more than 100mg / day:

NIH Haldol information page

I also think it is important to know what the recommended dose is for - for example, I have seen very high doses of IV haldol used effectively in delirium, but I have not seen the same for schizophrenia.
