How to display the user's active "Max Bid" amount alongside the current winning

Hello Team,

I need guidance on how to display the logged-in user's current Maximum Bid amount in a text display

Current Behaviour example:

The current highest bid on an auction for example is € 80.015

Another user clicks Place max bid and submits a maximum bid of € 100.000.

After submission, the current highest bid updates to € 81.015 (second-highest bid plus the bid increment), and the green status message at the bottom displays:

"You are leading the auction for € 81.015"


The Issue: Because the main price and the green status box only show € 81.015 while the live bid button jumps to € 100.015, bidders get confused and cannot clearly see that their € 100.000 maximum bid is registered and active.

Desired Result:

When the leading bidder has an active max bid, we want to display an additional label above the biidding buttons with something similar to:

"Your max bid is € 100.000 (If you win this auction, you only pay the second-highest bid plus the bid increment (€ 81.015), not your maximum bid)"

The button displaying "Place live bid for 1000.015" is confusing users and causing them to think their bids have not been submitted. As a result, bidders are clicking the button repeatedly (tested this with two people, and both experienced the same confusion)
