Max10 PCB Layout - Unused Pins

Hello, I am building my first from-scratch FPGA project. I’m using a Max10 10M02SC 153-MBGA, but my design is really simple. I really only need to use one bank because I only need about 16 I...

Now I'm wondering: how accurate is the Max 10 internal oscillator? I think my design is very tolerant, but if the clock varies a lot, maybe I should think about something else.

I found a chart in the datasheet (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/max-10/m10_datasheet.pdf) (p.28) that said the frequency was anywhere from 55-116MHz, typically 82MHz. For some reason I was thinking it was *either* 55 or 116, so I guess I'm reading that wrong...(?) Probably misunderstood the IP Editor's window.

Thanks!
