Maximum social charges for micro entreprise?

I have read that there is a cap on the maximum amount of social charges you can pay under the micro social / regime de base model, i.e. charges payable after the 34% reduction (liberale). Apparently the amount to pay is capped at a maximum of total turnover as per the auto entrepreneur percentages. I attach below the wording, do you know if this still holds today?

In terms of social security contributions, the amount you will be charged will depend on your turnover and business activity, but broadly speaking they amount to around 45% of your turnover, after deduction of the fixed allowance.

Example: In the case of the service based business above, with a turnover of €25,000 and an abatement of 50%, they will pay social security contributions at the approximate rate of 45% on €12,500, i.e. €5625. So the equation is (broadly) 45% of 50% of turnover.

Nevertheless, there is an important caveat to this equation because there is a double rule, under which the level of social security contributions payable by a micro-entreprise is capped at a maximum percentage of total turnover, as per those percentages that apply for an auto-entrepreneur.

Any reduction in your social security payments to take account of this second rule is carried out automatically by relevant social security body.

These capped limits are also the same for the fixed charges for auto-entrepreneurs operating under the micro-social regime set out below, although the payment arrangements differ.
