We derive conditional a priori error estimates of a wide class of finite volume and Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin methods with abstract limiting for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in 1D via the verification of weak consistency and entropy stability, as recently proposed by Bressan et al.~\cite{BressanChiriShen21}. Convergence in $L^\infty L^1$ with rate $h^{1/3}$ is obtained under a time step restriction $\tau\leq ch$, provided the following conditions hold: the exact solution is piecewise Lipschitz continuous, its (finitely many and isolated) shock curves can be traced with precision $h^{2/3}$ and, outside of these shock tracing tubular neighborhoods the numerical solution -- assumed to be uniformly small in BV -- has oscillation strength $h$ across each mesh cell and cell boundary.
