No, that is why I have rewritten it and tried to improve on this. But
like I said, it is my only reference. Is there some other way to verify
this value (besides perhaps the datasheet)?

Indeed, I have performed the same check with the same findings. But that
doesn't necessarily mean that the maximum should be lower, no?

Do you have some specific modifications of my code in mind regarding
this?

Thank you,
