max-height - CSS | MDN

Try it
<section class="default-example" id="default-example">
  <div class="transition-all" id="example-element">
    This is a box where you can change the maximum height. <br />This will limit
    how tall the box can be, potentially causing an overflow.
  </div>
</section>
#example-element {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  background-color: #5b6dcd;
  justify-content: center;
  color: white;
}

max-height overrides height, but min-height overrides max-height.

Syntax
/* <length> value */
max-height: 3.5em;
max-height: anchor-size(height);
max-height: calc(anchor-size(--my-anchor self-block, 250px) + 2em);

/* <percentage> value */
max-height: 75%;

/* Keyword values */
max-height: none;
max-height: max-content;
max-height: min-content;
max-height: fit-content;
max-height: fit-content(20em);
max-height: stretch;

/* Global values */
max-height: inherit;
max-height: initial;
max-height: revert;
max-height: revert-layer;
max-height: unset;
Values
<length>

Defines the max-height as an absolute value.

<percentage>

Defines the max-height as a percentage of the containing block's height.

none

No limit on the size of the box.

max-content

The intrinsic preferred max-height.

min-content

The intrinsic minimum max-height.

fit-content

Use the available space, but not more than max-content, i.e., min(max-content, max(min-content, stretch)).

fit-content(<length-percentage>)

Uses the fit-content formula with the available space replaced by the specified argument, i.e., min(max-content, max(min-content, argument)).

stretch

Limits the maximum height of the element's margin box to the height of its containing block. It attempts to make the margin box fill the available space in the containing block, so in a way behaving similar to 100% but applying the resulting size to the margin box rather than the box determined by box-sizing.

Note: To check aliases used by browsers for the stretch value and its implementation status, see the Browser compatibility section.

Accessibility

Ensure that elements set with a max-height are not truncated and/or do not obscure other content when the page is zoomed to increase text size.

Formal definition Initial value none Applies to all elements but non-replaced inline elements, table columns, and column groups Inherited no Percentages The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block. If the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), and this element is not absolutely positioned, the percentage value is treated as none. Computed value the percentage as specified or the absolute length or none Animation type a length, percentage or calc(); Formal syntax
