C172 Pilot reported a loss of control after touchdown while flying with wind conditions at the crosswind limits for the aircraft. The aircraft departed the runway with no apparent damage.

Narrative

Returning aircraft to home base following annual inspection at another airport 30 miles distant. Landing Runway X with winds 100 at 15 gusting to 23 kts; which equals max crosswind component of 15 kts. Conducted visual approach with flaps 20 (instead of full 30) and 5 kts. added to final approach speed (half gust factor) using forward slip (wing down/top rudder) crosswind technique. Touched down on runway center line aligned with runway but airplane swerved to right as speed decreased. Applied left rudder and brake to counter but airplane continued towards the right edge of the runway. Released brake and rudder pressure to steer airplane between runway edge lights into grass runway safety area parallel to south side of runway; and then braked the airplane to a stop just prior to intersection with turf Runway YY/ZZ. I surveyed the area and the runway lights from the cockpit and saw no obvious damage to the airplane or the lights. Tower asked if assistance was required; which I declined due to no apparent damage. Taxied under power to hangar and shut down. Visual inspection confirmed no damage to the airplane.Decision to conduct flight influenced by personal schedule; availability of ride to the other airport; and small window of VFR weather during the week after annual inspection was completed. Wind was forecast to be at demonstrated crosswind component of 15 kts. for the airplane at arrival; decided that was acceptable based on previous experience with crosswind landings in the same airplane. Did not consider lack of recent flight experience in planning; only 2 hours of flight time in previous 90 days including flight to annual inspection and the incident flight. Previous experience showed landings up to 15 kts. crosswind component were manageable during round-out and touchdown; but directional control became more difficult during landing rollout as airspeed decreased. Ultimately should have postponed flight until wind conditions were less challenging.
