maximum limit

Highest allowed amount

The maximum limit is the highest permissible boundary or cap on something—the point beyond which one cannot or should not go: The maximum limit for carry-on luggage is 22 pounds.

The phrase is technically redundant, since maximum already implies a limit, but it's common in regulations, specifications, and warnings where emphasis on the upper bound matters.
