As such, I always allow pitchers up to 3 warm-up pitches before each and every inning, so long as they don't take their sweet time getting to the mound. In rec games, I allow both pitchers to throw about 5-7 warm-up pitches in the first inning, but only 3 in each subsequent inning.

You must be talking about SP, correct? Cause if you're only allowing them "up to 3" you're reducing the number allowed (in FP).
