Note
The spelling stays simple because a final x is never doubled: max takes -ing directly, as tax and box do. In the limit-reaching sense the form usually brings out with it, as in maxing out a credit card or a factory maxing out its lines. A separate informal use means relaxing, so context decides between pushing to the limit and taking it easy.
