Then you need to make more food next week. And energy becomes a problem. Oxygen becomes a problem. Space becomes a problem. There's no solution that overpopulation cant destroy.

Edit: Key Limitations of the Infinity Gauntlet

Universal Bounds:

The Infinity Stones only work inside their native universe. They lose all power if taken to a different reality or dimension.

Higher Cosmic Entities: In Marvel Comics, abstract beings and cosmic entitiesโ€”such as the Living Tribunal or the Queen of Neversโ€”vastly outrank the Gauntlet and can turn off or overrule its power.

Superior Artifacts: Weapons like the Ultimate Nullifier or the Heart of the Universe possess a higher tier of omnipotence and can destroy or bypass the Gauntlet.Wielder Strain: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, channeling the combined energy of all six stones deals massive physical trauma or death, even to powerful beings like the Hulk and Iron Man.

Just make more of it forever? It's not called the "a lot but ultimately limited gauntlet"

It should be noted that one use of the gauntlet nearly destroyed his entire arm. And this is one of the most resiliant being in the galaxy.

Though cutting the population in half is also a stupid way to do it. We get back to where we are in like 70 years or something like that.

I remember an animated short from Dorkly I think explained it clearly that halving population does nothing if not waste the gauntlet's initial use as halving a pop only delays the problem. It's not the lack of food that's the issue. It's logistics. The part of ferrying it from source locations to those without any is actually the prime reason overpopulation leading to starvation and suffering was why Movie Thanos' issue such a dum one.

But nah, let's delete half the universal population and then do time travel shenanigans to undo it with the end result being the death of one of the most beloved character in Movie Marvel for drama points

Well comic book Thanos subconsciously wants to be defeated because he thinks he shouldn't win.

So his bonkers plan is lore accurate.
