Weak Hanes conjecture for boundedly generated ideals

Let d2d\geq 2 and NdN\geq d be positive integers. Let (R,m)(R,\operatorname{\mathfrak{m}}) be a Noetherian local ring of dimension dd, and let II be an m\operatorname{\mathfrak{m}}-primary ideal that can be generated by NN elements. Write e(I)\operatorname{e}(I) for the Hilbert–Samuel multiplicity of II, e(R)=e(m)\operatorname{e}(R)=\operatorname{e}(\operatorname{\mathfrak{m}}), and (R/I)\ell(R/I) for the length of R/IR/I. Weak Hanes conjecture. There exists a constant c=c(N,d)(0,1)c=c(N,d)\in(0,1) such that

e(I)d!ce(R)(R/I).\operatorname{e}(I)\leq d!c\operatorname{e}(R)\ell(R/I).

This is the expected extension of the proved weak Hanes corollary from integrally closed ideals to arbitrary m\operatorname{\mathfrak{m}}-primary ideals. The supplied text says it is known in equal characteristic but does not establish it in general.
