12 hrs confidence: Finite Benefit
Explanation:
Finite here would mean bounded, confined or restricted. The opposite which is نفع متعدي
would be infinite benefit. I guess it sounds good. It could be explained in the context as "a finite benefit confined to oneself while an infinite benefit stretches out to encompass others".
