Here's an updated version of that code that allows you to set the maximum value during runtime and automatically compensates if the current total is greater that the maximum allowable total set. Also, this compensates for instances that a number bigger than than the maximum allowable total is entered into one of the 5 steppers:

Im also posting the repeater version which gives the same result below should it be able to help you or someone else in this group. Sorry for the lengthy post.
