Total Supply vs Max Supply
Total supply is all tokens currently in existence (including locked/vested). Max supply is the absolute maximum that will ever exist. Circulating supply is what's actually tradeable. Example: Bitcoin has max supply 21M, total supply ~19.6M (mined), circulating slightly less (some lost). Check all three when evaluating tokenomics.
