Is there a way to get the max value that can be stored in a bigint, without hardcoding it?
Is there a function or a constant that returns/contains this value?

See the answer provided in this similar question. There is no way, as far as I know, to programmatically find the answer you’re looking for.
Based on the comments you posted on another answer, this would allow you to only have to change your values in one place, as opposed to multiple places.
