When you say "how much entropy is left?" you make it sound like a quantity that is decreasing, not increasing. That seems incorrect, no?

That's why I specified that it's meant as "how much can entropy still increase between the current state and the highest entropy state". If you can't read it in that sense, either ignore the shorter question or read it as "how much increase of entropy left". Or maybe "how much entropy left until max".
