Flex container not reaching max width before wrapping children

$

In this snippet, the inner-left element gets a new item added to it every time the Add Item button is clicked. It has a max-width of 50% of the parent width, however the flex items are being wrapped before that max width is reached.

Where am I going wrong - how can I make it so that every time a new item is added, it's added beside the previous item, which increases the width of the inner-left element up to a max of 50% of it's parent width, at which point it starts to wrap the flex items?

function addItem() {  var item = document.createElement('div');  item.classList.add('item');  document.getElementById('inner-left').appendChild(item);}function removeAllItems() {  document.getElementById('inner-left').replaceChildren();}
#outer-container {  width: 400px;  height: 100px;  border: 1px solid black;  padding: 5px;  box-sizing: border-box;  display: flex;  flex-direction: row;  gap: 5px;}#inner-left {  max-width: 50%;  height: 100%;  display: flex;  flex-flow: row wrap;  gap: 5px;  border: 1px solid red;  box-sizing: border-box;  padding: 5px;  box-sizing: border-box;  align-items: center;}#inner-right {  width: 100%;  border: 1px solid green;  box-sizing: border-box;}.item {  width: 30px;  height: 10px;  background-color: blue;}
<div><div id="outer-container"><div id="inner-left"><!-- items added here --></div><div id="inner-right"></div></div><button onclick="addItem()">Add Item</button><button onclick="removeAllItems()">Remove All Items</button></div>
