Retiring May-June 2023 - Max pension contributions?

I am due to retire in May or June this year and am about to open a DC pension to use up unused pension allowances for this tax year (my company scheme limits the AVCs I can contribute). I want to add to the pot next year while still while still working via a single lump sum payment.  What would be the maximum I could invest after 6 April Is it the £40k annual limit or is it prorata either to that amount or my salary?  Thanks for your insight.

    Unless your a very high earner, its going to be the amount of relevant earned income you earn in the two or three months before you retire in June.
