They got around this in "The Time of the Doctor," Matt Smith's final episode, by explaining that he'd used up all of his regenerations already-- including the "metacrisis" in "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" where Ten regenerated a second self from his severed hand. But then, to save Eleven from dying of old age and to stop the Daleks from running rampant again, the Time Lords-- still locked away in a pocket dimension-- granted Eleven a whole new regeneration cycle-- 12 more regenerations, at least-- which he promptly took advantage of.
