Not maximum per day, maximum per year.
Turbotax will prepare form 8283 if your non-cash donations are more than $500, and Turbotax will allow you to file the form no matter what you put on it. But if the total is more than $5000, expect the IRS to review it.
If you didn't know the rules ahead of time, and you file without the appraisal and signatures, your deductions are at significant risk. You would have been better off having an estate sale and donating the cash.
See IRS publication 526.

Deduction over $5,000. You must complete Section B of Form 8283 for each item or group of similar items for which you claim a deduction of over $5,000. The organization that received the property must complete and sign Part V of Section B, Form 8283.
Deduction over $5,000.
You must complete Section B of Form 8283 for each item or group of similar items for which you claim a deduction of over $5,000. In figuring whether your deduction for a group of similar items was more than $5,000, consider all items in the group, even if items in the group were donated to more than one organization. However, you must file a separate Form 8283, Section B, for each organization. The organization that received the property must complete and sign Part V of Section B.
For donations of non-cash items over $5000,
If you claim a deduction of over $5,000 for a noncash charitable contribution, you must have a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from the charity, obtain a qualified written appraisal of the donated property from a qualified appraiser, and complete Form 8283.
In addition to, or in lieu of, the items described in Deductions Over $500 but Not Over $5,000 earlier, your completed Form 8283 must include:
-
The qualified organization’s taxpayer identification number, signature, the date signed by the qualified organization, and the date the qualified organization received the property;
-
The appraiser’s name, address, taxpayer identification number, appraiser declaration, signature, and the date signed by the appraiser; and
-
The following additional information about the contributed property:
-
The FMV on the valuation effective date; and
-
A statement explaining whether the charitable contribution was made by means of a bargain sale and, if so, the amount of any consideration received for the contribution.
