I could not find any such alternative but have found a workaround that set SelectMultiple of Combobox as below:
If(CountRows(Self.SelectedItems)=3,false,true)

here I want user to choose maximum 2 Selection,
As soon as user selects 3rd option, combobox takes it as 1st selection

so you can use this formula and put a note that you can select maximum 2 options.

You could have the displayMode of the choice box to be:

If( CountRows(Self.SelectedItems)<11 && CountRows(Self.SelectedItems)>6, displayMode.Edit, displayMode.View )

But then you must have an additional button or icon that allows you to Reset(controlName) the control so that the user can choose others if they want to
