agree  Sylvia Smith: I agree, although strictly speaking there is no "up to" in the original - de X jours = for X days :)
3 mins
neutral  CMJ_Trans (X): may be ( not "can be")
7 mins
  -> True, though the MW does indicate that "can" and "may" are used interchangeably
agree  Sue Pasco (X): with "may be"
11 mins
  -> Duly noted ;-)
agree  Charlie Bavington: altho I too would prefer "may" in a legal context. And you're right about "à concurrence" = "up to"

  -> Thanks. I do agree with you, CMJ and Susan for "may", I have a bad habit of interchanging the two .
